Unfortuneatly no.....Very little is original
The frame is good and tight but with the enivitable laquer lift in the carbon in some places and the usual fluero fade, the forks are the original 1 inch? large tange. It comes with a xt 739 rear mech and a suntour xc pro front mech. Also comes with a ritchey logic comp 1 inch? headset, seat post and saddle. Possible the original bb? Beyond that it's throw away stuff. as a result I paid less than a third of the asking price.
But
I've decided to keep it and use it as my daily and sell my Giant Cadex cfm-1 with xtr m900/951 mix
It's also given me thoughts about maintaning my retro hobby and I can see why we have so few u.s. members in the retro scene.
I'll give you an example, type in bike into ebay and the nearest one used is 280 miles away from me on a good day, add to that shipping charges of $100 upwards and suddenly the cheap hobby it is in the u.k. (by comparisson) seems a distant memory.
Given we are in the middle of the badlands there aren't so many retro's being ridden by the sioux or the ranchers
and driving a 14 hour round trip adds to the cost when the truck is a 5.3 v8
still I might try some spraying on the metal bits ?
