This is a 1990.5 model. Updated paint scheme mid season, that was used on the 91 e-stay aluminium model that superseded it.Thanks for posting this info.
Pacific Cycles XT found “in the wild” in Melbourne Australia. Probably an 89?
passed to a mate who is an enthusiast, but just thanking you for the info posted here.
Thanks for sharing! Always good to have more info on lesser known brands. Love looking at old brochures/catalogues!
Particularly love the fillet brazed XT equipped 89 bike and there are similarities in their 1990 range with Alpinestars...
I did think that but hadn’t quite joined to dots. Like to try and use my old brain rather than revert to a Google search! Or wait for a reply from a fellow Retrobiker!Pacific was the factory brand of the company that made Alpinestars' bikes. The 7 Comp / Competition model was essentially an Almega, and the Mtn Expert a Cromega.
There were other brands made by them but Alpinestars is the only significant one I can recall.
