It's not full XT, that chain set is Deore LX, the brake levers are not Shimano's either.

My bad, still too expensive though...
The best shifter/brake lever combo back in 91.

Opinion from use I would guess.
My opinion is they didn't beat the newer SLR plus levers ServoWave XT (1990+) with the windows and later, but maybe the older XT.
