Been looking for a new project, and this one came up in Germany for the right price:
The seller claimes it’s a 1996, but there is no canti hanger, might be a later but will have to investigate. It’s built up whit a mix of xt and lx parts pretty close to the original spec but with avid v-brakes. I’m in doubt if the forks are original, will try to measure the rake to check.
The plan is to build a bike to ride on gravel paths with a child seat so it’s not gonna be 100% period correct, but will keep it close.
Better pictures will follow soon
