Dentists don't ride Disc Drive
@sick-lizard :
Hmm....how come that you have to be a dentist to buy a vintage Disk Drive wheel?
You could be any profession, like a teacher or a hair dresser or a bicycle mechanic & still buy it, no?!

The cassette is not XTR but probably M737 (1993 model). Just incase it comes back at you if sold.

"the dentist" is the profession ascribed to the top-end mamil who buys a new d-a di2 bike every year.
I don't know whether dentists are seen as peak consumers in other expensive leisure activities, like Golf, Paragliding, scuba-diving?
Or do they have a different career?

I bought the one pictured on page one, not a dentist, and the kids were fed. It is indeed new and unridden, yet the hub is shot, think the seals just rotted away. Have to get a snake camera to confirm the hub so I can get the right bearings and seals. I’d price yours at least at $2000 US. Just need the right buyer.

Thanks Super Trooper- The hub spins like it is new, sadly I am old enough to recall what 1993 hubs span like when they were fresh out their boxes whilst working in a bike shop. Ha.
Ref the value- it’s just a matter of finding the right buyer I guess.
Enjoy the DD- looks like a beaute.
