Home found (Was: Free to a good home: 90's Bontrager Race OR

[John Stevenson]

An impending move, lack of space and the fact that I just don't ride them any more means this and another of my old bikes are up for grabs.

This is a Santa Cruz-built Bontrager Race OR. I won't pretend it's not tatty, which is why I don't want any money for it, but I'm hoping someone will take it and give it some love.

Fork is a Judy DH with a whopping 70mm or travel, fitted with Englund air cartridges.

It has drops and MicroShift STI units cos it was last used as a commuter, hence also the Conti 25mm slick tyres they're on Bontrager rims and the hubs are either Deore or Deore XT.

The rest of the transmission is 9-speed Deore XT - original square taper chainset, brand new chain and sprockets.

You'll need to be able to pick it up from Bath.

Wow... :shock:

Immensely generous - good on you.

Is this the same bike that was once tested/written about in MBUK many moons ago? If so, I remember reading that article and thinking "one day...." - and now I own several of 'em.

To be honest, I can't remember if I wrote up this bike or someone else wrote up a very similar one, so I'll have o give you a definite maybe on that
