When this bike came out- in the early 90’s, there was nothing like it- nothing. It was a bike you’d put on a poster and hang on your wall like a Countach or whatever.
Most of the parts here post-date that- the rear derailleur is newer, and those wheels are later, too (never mind the crank). But those lines? That swoopiness? That little shark fin for the front mech? Yeah baby.
I’ve never ridden one of these- I worry it’d be a never-meet-your-hero moment for someone my size, but… it is/was/will always be a *striking* bicycle.
