Up for sale is my 1990 Santana Moda.
Overall it’s in decent condition with one exception being the ding on the top tube shown in the pictures. It’s not that deep but it’s there.
Original paint. I believe it’s called Cyclam. Decals are original. Santana have confirmed it’s a 1990 frame. Columbus Max tubing.
The photos don’t do justice to the colour in the light. Also the beautiful lines on this frame.
It’s a 1/8 head tube and takes a 27.2 seatpost. Seat tube 19 c-c and 20 C-t
Top tube 22.5
Here’s a bit about the Moda. There will be more knowledgable people on here so let me know if anything is incorrect. Based in Southern California, Santana we’re/are more famous for tandems. But in 1988/1989 they developed the Moda to compete in the MTB market. Fillet brazed (until later when they introduced a TiG welded version) and made of Columbus Max or Max OR tubing. They were produced between 1989-1993. You see them for sale every now and then but not too often.
I rode it at Malvern last summer and it climbs like a bullet even with me powering it.

I built the bike as per the only 1990 spec I could get my hands on. XT groupset, Tioga carbon seatpost, Matrix ISO-C rims, Avocet R20 saddle, Salsa stem and American Classic QR skewers. The ground control tyres are probably for display only.
Looking for £800 for the full bike.
Any questions just let me know
