OK - here are the pics. Lot's of similarities to the smaller Hunqapillars I'd say. This bike cleaned up amazingly well for a 25 year-old. Even the original tires are ready to roll. I don't think the person I bought it from rode it much at all. Funny, but she had purchased a hybrid bike to ride when all she needed to do was swap out the tires and raise the bars. Until I can find a taller frame, I'll add albatross bars on a tall stem - maybe fenders too. Fortunately I have a longer 26.8 seatpost as the original is quite short. I am very impressed with the quality of the Gen 1 XT components, Everything is built to last. Of course I re-greased the headset and BB, and I only had to adjust one of the XCII pedals. I've been using a big tub of Campy grease for more than thirty years now, and it still smells and feels wonderful. Man, I really love cups and cones! BTW - a 32mm headset wrench works just fine on the funky 600 headset - just have to be careful. Enjoy the pics.
