Are you from Mexico or moved there?

Moved in.

Can i ask what are your experiences on riding the Wildthing?
I mentioned previously, just like Prodigal Son did, that i bet it offers more riding comfort than the Surly. Which bike do you choose when you go off somewhere?

It rides well, I enjoy it. It's a bit lighter than the Surly's which makes it great for commuting. Off-road it's a fun ride, but the fact that it's lighter makes it bit less compliant with the terrain, it cannot handle bumps and roots as well as my Surly's can. Alongside my KM it's the main ride at the moment.

We finally have a year. 1993.

How do you know?

Found a fella selling a full bike with the same frame, stated it was a 1993, came specced with XT components

Obviously fella could be pulling year out of his arse but I reckon 93 or 94 makes sense with tubeset, components. Personally I thought 95 at first.

Uh oh you're right I didn't look through the pics

Back to the drawing board, 199x back in the title. Ugh.

The blue tyres are a bit too much, but I know I’m too late for any of this, those blue walled tyres looked way better. The thing with colour coding is that if you want to colour code, then it’s subtle or extreme no in between.

Lovely build though, great find, I expect as good from the ti frame.

I'm thinking it's later than 93 though, what do you reckon @STX-RC
