Other details:
I bought this fine specimen from another retrobiker quite a few years ago. The backstory is that he took a 1994 Diablo STX as a donor, and put almost all the parts on a 1994 or 1995 M Trax Titanium Duo Tech Team Edition frame, which he'd had powder coated white. I live abroad so I kept this bike at my Mum's place and rode it a few times a year during visits. Now that my Mum's downsizing to a flat, I need to aggressively thin the herd, and this one has been selected to be sold.
Everything works fine except for the left hand STI shifter, which won't shift into the top ring. The wheels are fairly true, the tyres have loads of life left.
The rear dropouts are meant to be spaced at 135 mm, but when the frame came into my possession, the spacing was something like 132 mm. You have to pull them apart slightly when fitting a rear wheel, but despite this everything looks aligned properly.
Photos below. Unfortunately, I didn't know I would soon need to sell last time I was home to visit, so I don't have close up pics of the all important teeth on the cassette or chainrings. If there's any interest, I can get someone to go into the garage and get some close-up photos of these parts and anything else.
