Iconic old skool XC mountain bike in superb condition after a complete rebuild in the Dead Rats Cycles workshop, with lots of restoration work plus new tyres, tubes, cassette, chain and cables. The unique splatter-painted sloping top tube 4130 cro-mo 16″ frame (with Project Two straight fork) is loaded with almost completely original components, with period correct upgraded brake levers & shifters to improve performance. An absolutely bomproof 21 speed bike that’s as much of a joy to to ride as it is to behold…
