I must admit i have been tempted, but the price is steep for just a frame. Secondly, I am starting my new project soon, my 1991 Zaskar build and will most likely start a thread on that too. Lastly, I probably won't be doing much more after that Zaskar project as I'm satisfied with the amount...

Are you buying that one then?

Oh, I just remembered this one in my watchlist here, a '98 Pantera made from 6061 aluminium, that is an oddity. 😁

yes, I don't know if they ever were made from 6061 aluminium, but I have seen at least the Tempest appear as both 7005 and 6061. The first Pantera from 1992 was 7000, not 7005, I am not sure how much of a difference it made, it could be in the way the tubes were butted.

I paid £50 for a '98 Tempest frame, 16" and made from 6061 aluminium, it makes for a nice ride. Probably paid more than I should have but it was worth it to me. While cosmetically not perfect, I still like it, it's about the same weight as a Zaskar of that same year. (The '98 Zaskar had the same...

Yes, it is not a Zaskar, most likely a Tempest or similar as it was made from 7005 series Aluminium, see stamp on drop out.

you forgot to add price?

Shimano Deore XT Front derailleur, FD-M735 Bottom Pull 28.6 dia. clamp. In very good condition, came as part of a set of XT Parts I bought from Italy, sadly it doesn't fit my 1991 Zaskar frame as the clamp is the wrong size. £28 including shipping UK mainland! Payment by PayPal F+F or Bacs.. If...

As promised, some photos of the XT front derailleur (I may post in a Sales thread). Clamp is 28.6mm which is the wrong diameter for my new project.

Waiting for a train home at Warrington West train station after acquiring this beauty a few months ago. I was impressed with the general condition and since replacing the forks for the 2x4 rigid forks, replaced the seatpost, handlebars and tyres. I'd say it is about 97% original now. One of...

I have a spare Deore DX rear derailleur for that Tequesta....

Does that mean that my blue cable outers are no good on my yellow Bravado? See profile picture... it doesnt work for all bikes with the exception of this one. I do prefer black cable housing too, to be honest.

I just had this front derailleur in a groupset but it's the wrong size for my project, so maybe you can make use of it. We can agree on a price once I've posted some photos of it.

I have the same front mech I'll post some photos tomorrow morning.

If it had been a 120mm length stem I would have bought it already!
