I got these in from Specialized today. I've been eyeing them for a while but they were kinda pricey. They just put them on special(last years model) which means they are cheaper now and won't be around much longer. Still pricey at $38 each.
Very nice. I just picked up an '89 model. It is in decent shape but has a dent in the downtube. I am going to go to early-mid '90's spec on the rebuild.
This is mine. It looks like an off the shelf model, but I bought the frame new off of e-bay and built it the way I wanted:
Rockshox Metro 700c fork
Shimano Alivio 9sp crank 42-32-22 with chain guard
Deore derailleurs and V-brakes
LX Shifter/Brake lever
SRM PG950 11-34 cassette
Rocky Mountain...
I've been looking for a modern frame(non-diamond) that I can turn into a radonneur type bike for my wife. I picked this one up today on e-bay for $10.57. Local pickup. I will post "after" pics when I'm done.
You can have amazing results VERY lightly spot sanding the original paint and clearcoating. Admittedly it's not Concours material, but it preserves the original worn in look.
