Sorted Early MTB wanted Alpinestars/Haro/Ridgeback anything considered has to be cool

[7plusoneisideal]

Afternoon all, looking for a complete restored/original early 90's MTB, must be a good spec model, ideally from around 91-93, anything considered, budget up to around £700.00, I do want something that can take out for a ride every now and again, I lusted after a good MTB back in the day and could never afford it, I had to wait until 98 and bought a Cannondale Super V but I've been hankering after something to take me back to the golden era for a while. I have a Saracen Sahara Elite for sale in the sale forum which I'm moving on to make way for something much higher end.

I'm 5'10" so something around 17" or 18" please

Might have this for sale if it doesn’t go to the US, pm me if interested.

I have this medium DX Cro Mega.
currently shod with Mavic 231 on LX hubs and brand new Duster Pro amberwall tyres. This is an older pic.

Flyte Saddle
XT rear derailleur, brake levers and shifters (3x
DX front derailleur
Anodised Blue Dia Compe 987 cantis
Brand new Ritchey grips
LX crankset
DX cage pedals
Annodised teal bottle cage bolts and crank bolts (to give it a bit of colour).

I have two bikes and need to let one go (this or a mint M500 cannondale)

Frame has a few age related paint chips, not much, but no cracks, dents or repairs.

I'm 5'10 aswell and set up for me.

Stunning bike and very reluctant sale but one has to go to fund a new hobby.

Thanks but I’ll pass, if it were an Al Mega different story, still a lovely bike, thanks

What year is the M500 ?

I looked at the Al Mega originally then heard the horror stories of cracking so went for the OX Temper Cromega

The M500 is 95.

the M500 is lovely, but too late for me I want something early 90's
Yes agreed on the Al Mega cracking issue, Cro Mega is the 100% safe bet for sure
