19" frame. TT length is 575mm. Tange Prestige tubing (AKA "steel", for those not in the know). Rigid fork, in case you haven't been riding long enough to recall that rigid was all there was until about 1992. Rack/fender mounts front and rear (all MTBs had those back then, it seems). SS-friendly semi-horizontal drop-outs. Lots of original XT parts: hubs, derailleurs, cranks, brakes. Replaced the original Rapidfire shifters with older (better) 7-speed XT thumb shifters. BB is newer XT cartridge-style. Cassette and rings are not original. The bike actually works pretty well and rides pretty nice. It would be a good commuter for sure. Paint is chipped in spots but no rust, I have touched it up periodically with clear nail polish or model paint.
I haven't been riding it and thought I'd see if anyone was interested. I don't feel like dealing with 7-speed stuff any more. If not I'll probably just hang on to it and do the 8-of-9-on-7 thing with the drivetrain.
