Showcase
I bought this bike from a team rider back in 2001 and have been riding it ever since, mainly on the road and light trail riding. It still has its original Magic Motor Cycle Cranks, wheel set , saddle, American Classic Ti seat post and shock boot. The Headshok was rebuilt two years ago by MendonCycleSmith. It weighs in at 22lbs. with the super light Kenda tires with Slime liner.
I have upgraded this SM600 to XT-II from 1989 using M732 parts even down to the right biopace label for 1989.
pedals are not period correct but fit my shoes.

Update 2019: This is the same frame as my other M900 posted but it has been updated as a rigid MTB. Changed out cranks (not Deore XT) and moved to a non-traditional riser bar with Deore rapid fire shifters.

Bought new in '92 in Cedar City, UT for $800 because it had been scratched when built (electric skateboard came much later). Rode in the evenings with bats in St. George after work--great bike! Rode Slick Rock in Moab, UT with fat slicks on it--very fun! Was my daily commuter until it was stolen in Feb.'11. Replaced it with a built-up M200SE.
My daily commuter '92 M1000 was stolen in Feb.'11, so I found this one locally for $75 (for the frame mostly). Reused the seat and frame--replaced everything else new for my new daily commuter. Is 23lbs. with fenders! Rides like a dream...
A frame that was lying around at a bicycle parts supplier's depot in NOS condition.
It has been equipped with a vintage Shimano 600 set, Gipiemme wheels, a Wound Up fork, Aerozine crankset and various other bits and pieces, without any attempt at being philologically correct but just to assemble a lightweight bicycle that will be pleasant to use and, why not, to look at.
Most euro only, but a few stayed in the states. I bought it new Oct. 1990 at Wash. DC bike show via Metropolis Bicycles. $1200. A ton more than I ever paid for a bike, but I had to have it being American/Italian.... like me.
