Hello,
the frame, which weights around 2.180 grams (fork: 870 grams), has openings in the bottom bracket housing to the down tube and chain stays.
There are also openings in the head tube to the top-/down tube.
There and in the seat tube were treated with "Fluid Film" a few weeks ago ...
"Fluid Film" offers long-term corrosion protection / permanently active rust protection.
Environmentally friendly, very good creep properties and not only protects against new rust formation, but also stops possible "old" rust.
Yesterday 'll installed the bottom bracket and put the Revolution on it ...
... later - they will be attached with Syncros crank-o-matics.
BEST wishes, Max

Pulling up a chair for this build. My favourite steel MTB frame. And that colour...............
@nightstorm95 this might be the sexiest mtb I've seen on retrobike. Great photos. please post more. Love the snow riding. This feels like a BOTM/BOTY.
If you ever need a buyer for the 51, I'm your guy.

This was like my bike and everybody at High Beach Epping wanted a test ride of it back in 91. One of our possy ~ 16yrs old was am amazing stunt/obstacle rider. He had this jumped up the bonnet of a burned out car wreck and dancing all over its roof before a perfect wheelie dismount. 
Ahh sweet memories….Wish I could do that !

Hello,
many thanks for the comments.

Was still looking for a partner for the new T-Max.
Picked up a few days ago ...
Original Serotta Colorado II 1991 in magenta to orange fade. Decals: green w/yellow outline.
He definitely won't get white or black handlebar tape.
