Also an Ofmega Premier front derailleur for £11 delivered.

picked this up today alpine..something..stars.

cro-mega i'm sure but unsure what seperates the LX/DX/XT thing, apart from components. same f+f?

anyway i paid small dollar and, just as well! nothing works and needs a repaint. fortunately no dents or detected cracks and enough original parts to keep identity true.

ser: P11701401.


This is just heaven to me, a do-er up-er. next year a build thread may pop up. after letting go of the 1992 cro-mega, which was spanking good in every way, i was always going to try pick up the non-scaffold tube one, here it is....................

That's really nice mark, I am a little jealous as I've been after a cro-mega for a while.
