nostalgic "first bike" build.

[Si_]

I am thinking of trying to recreate my first proper mountain bike. Actually the second adult bike i ever owned.

it was an 18 inch univega alpina 5.5 flat bar, long reach stem and ritchey kit.

i fitted an xlite riser and saddle plus magura Raceline hs33. (see pic) this bike carried me all through iuni and out the other side.

me and the old girl had many adventures. but i sold it to my then partners brother. These are become hard to find, so i wondered if anyone on here has one hanging in the garage awaiting resurrection.

hmm interesting. courier would have to be as im inthe north east of england, so hinckley is a bit of a trek...(see what i did there?)
