I picked this up a few weeks ago from Tootyred. They'd done a lovely job on the frame , adding silver and gold panels to the existing (lovely) purple frame.
I'm building it up as a do it all / commuter / shopper bike using what I have available. But given that I'm a complete tart when it comes groupsets, thats a mixture of period XTR and modern XT/XTR that I've taken from my bontrager build (which will be going back to period when I get around to sourcing a rear QR).
The steerer on the fork is massive, but i'll avoid cutting that down as quite a lot money was spent extending it in the first place
anyway, here's a couple of pictures. It'll get a tubus airy rack next and be treated to tour of the nearest tesco car park.
