Mystery and Unidentified Parts

[FluffyChicken]

Picked up a bike today (see my new thread) which has some very tasty kit on it. I can’t work out the hubs though. Bike is a 1995, and the kit seems to match the year. It’s the gunmetal colour that’s throwing me. Look very shimano, and there’s a matching rear. There’s a slight machined ribbing on the outer thirds of the body and the middle is smooth, like it had a sticker at some point. On gold 230 tib rims with DT spokes that look ti colour but maybe that’s my failing and aspirational eyesight. They’re bloody light.

Any ideas?

I'd be looking STX, maybe STX SE, maybe even down to MC10 (94era)

Edit I see posts above, so 1995, same level.

STX SE would be about the right colour, that or STX RC? Happy with that as STX was one of my favourite groupsets.

One more then…

This rear mech has no badging that I can see other than Made in France. Trans X jockeys are clearly aftermarket. It has S5 stamped into the removable plate, along with Max 32T Total 34T

I’m thinking Sachs but I’ve never come across the brand in the flesh so to speak

Yep, New Success.

Pulls are wrong way around, that bottom pully say centeron which is a Shimano naming used in the guide pully, it also says g-pully, so that's the top pully and can move side to side. ('centers on' the sproket)

Both jockey wheels say Centeron and G Pulley on them.

Looks right, I thought they were shimano as my XT’s are very similar but a silver rather than gunmetal. What parallax hubs were gunmetal in 1995 ish?

Stx Rc.

Who's the manufacturer please? Ti seatpost but I can't seem to find similar examples with the ally collar at the top
