Ok, let me introduce my strange Laiti
From the name of his inventor, this model is from first batch of frame.
Some youthful defect.
Bike is fully original except cable/housing and rear tire.

synlos' Fat Chance Kicker from 85. Team colors. Equipped with XC9000 than XC. Would like to be XC, oh well - it runs smooth.
Saddle needs to be changed, way to wide for my butt.

Sorry @Factorycol this month is for 1988 and earlier so I’ve deleted your entry.
Come back again in June and enter it though
