>>1909134That's a fantastic bike. I love the way it looks and the setup.
Does that front end fit you? Is the reach ok? You should modify it if not.
>>1909153Mountain LX is the top model of Exage.
It's kind of equivalent to the later Exage 500, then STX, then, Alivio.
All good stuff.
The styling looks like XT from a distance but the rings and cage plates are steel, it's all quite heavy, and ime it's far more prone to slop. I would upgrade it when parts come your way, if you like the ride of the bike generally. No rush though. And I wouldn't upgrade in a different direction, just similiar higher tier old parts. Also, a period non-biopace triple, a lighter one, with a smaller granny.
