I'm recovering from a car accident I was in last week. I went to my lbs to look for spare parts. The owner knows I am like retrobikes and showed his new display bike. Before I asked, he told me NOT FOR SALE. He used it on the trails 5 times!

He has box of nos RM handle (90's).
We talked about some of those parts. He said he wanted it close to period. He used a Norco seat post, Trans-X handle bar, and not the correct RM stem. They should all be Syncros.

Indeed. It's the law.

Depends what year it is, they switch to RaceFace also.

So he has a custom built bike and has only ridden it 5 times in all these years.

Does look nice though :)
 
Lovely bike. We don't see many of them. Thanks for posting and hopefully you will recover soon.
