Verkaufe Mantis XCR Elevated Chainstay

[MKozaczek]

For sale is a 1991/1992 Mantis XCR EC. I purchased this bike last winter from the MOMBAT collection, I had always wanted an early elevated XCR and this seemed like a good size. When I first got the bike it needed a fair amount of overhaul work as headset and rear hub bearings were completely seized. I ended up completely rebuilding the bike and replacing a fair amount of components to not only make the bike work well, but also try to fit me better. I've been riding the bike a fair amount this summer and while it's been fun it's not a perfect fit, nor do I prefer it over other vintage bikes. All that being said I think it's time to find it a new home.

The Aluminum part of the frame has some chips and scratches but no dings or cracks. The paint is cracked under the seat binder collar, but there is no structural damage. Overall everything works well, the shifting is typical of Suntour and not what you'd call perfect.
