Didn't quite make it to the 10 year mark.
This is how it looked when I got it in 2006

Every single part except the front mech has been changed since then, until, just before it was stripped

Too much play in the main pivot, so a frame has been nabbed off of that ebay ready for Scotland trip next week.

Hoping I'll love it as much as the old one 🙂

Thats a bit personal 😉
It was £500 including post, clamp and headset. Fantastic nick.
I'm probably going to die though as it's 26" wheel, 3x9, 1"1/8th and no dropper post!

Is a proper classic that 575.

Oh for sure, you'll be lucky to make it out of the door with that set up!! 😉 Lovely looking bike, you must be well chuffed, nice one! 🙂

Yup, won't roll over any bumps, your front mech will be constantly rubbing and messing with your chain, and you'll definitely not be able to ride downhill without going over the bars (with likely loss of life) without a dropper.

And/or those skinny tyres and/or that narrow bar... 😆

Riser bars too, seem to remember a phase of them being quite popular on those old 26 inchers.

No clutch mech and narrow rims, 0/10.
