Welcome to a new build. One that is going to put up a huge fight and test my patience.
One of Scott’s earliest mountain bikes, this one has come equipped with the MT60 groupset. Surprisingly, at this time, the MT60 was the lower groupset as the only other available happened to be the M730 (XT) variant. Progress through the years and the MT60 keeps its second place in the hierarchy eventually turning in to the DX group. Not a bad find then! This well equipped bike only needed the wheels and the crankset to make it complete again and they were supplied by Marcin @ www.ebay.co.uk...
This particular bike has had a hard life. Bought by its previous owner in the early 90s, it had been ridden continuously and it showed. The stem and headset had rusted to the fork steerer from the years of Peak District weather. The seat post, not needing to be adjusted, had welded itself to the frame. The bottom bracket had been replaced but the “new” version came with weakened plastic cups that would need a special touch to remove. Finally, the paintwork... the one deep, bright pink had faded to almost white after years of riding and the black had countless chips to its once gloss finish.
This bike will get restored back to its former glory and I’m looking forward to it. Subscribe to see the finished bike in the near future.
