ALL-ORIGINAL, made in the USA, Comp version of likely the best mountain bikes of its era. Best for 5’5″-5’11” riders. This bike is a garage queen, preserved in impeccable conditions. When I got it, the drivetrain was covered in hardened oil and dirt, making the bike impossible to ride. This is likely what preserved it from being used. Cleaning off this gunky mess brought this bike back to life. One of the rear derailleur pulleys was cracked and had to be replaced. The IRC Mythos-XC 26×2.10″ carbon-aramid-forced tires are in great shape. They are so cool, and so iconic 90s that I decided to keep them.. Note that the front and rear tires in this set have different threads by design.
This bike is now available for $800. Please email me at bikesheaven1@gmail.com with any questions. Shipping in the continental USA is $250
