Sweet! Great build!

First things first:

Inigo,
what a beautiful project, a pity that the ift had to go.

Now, hello! I am a new member to that forum here and I cam across it after googling "Indian Fire Trail 1994".

Why did I google it?

I'm pondering to sell mine as it doesn't really fit me (actually it never really did). It's an original 1994 20" (or 20.5") with almost all the parts it was equipped with back in the days. Except for the Seat (I'd equip it with the original seat of my 1994 Pine Mountain, but it would have purple seat tubes instead of the blue ones), additionally the wheels are not OEM.
When I bought the IFT two spokes of the rear wheel were broken and it was euqipped with some ridiculous front wheel. I took the front wheel of my Pine Mountain (so again purple nipples instead of the blue ones) and some wheel with Mavic Rims and 1994 XT Hub for the rear.

Please bear with me as I have just decided to sell the IFT and haven't put a lot of work in taking nice pictures or even refurbishing the IFT.

Cheers
Thomas

Hi, ich weiss ein ziemlich alter Eintrag, aber was hat das gute stück in der Ausführung gewogen? Habe grad den gleichen rahmen erstanden (warte nich auf den Eingang) und bisher finde ich keine Gewichtsangaben, ausser die im 94er Katalog.
Nette Grüße

Thanks,
In the end I didn't want to part with it, so it still sits in the stable. I will post an update shortly, though not much has changed yet (despite it's clean).

Cheers
