Just pulled this out of the basement for the first time in years.
Wicked Lite
Serial #228W38
1993?
metallic purple
Size: can't recall (I seem to remember they sized from center of BB to top of seat post. That measures between 18" and 19.5", which I think were the sizes in that range. Or was it M/L?)
I built this as a frameset in 1995. Bought it from the shop I had worked at previously. They were happy to get rid of it, as it had been hanging in the shop for a couple of years. I built it from the typical former wrench's box of parts.
Original build:
wheels- Mavic 230 hoops on Shimano LX hubs
derailleurs- Shimano XTR
crankset- Shimano XT
brakes/levers- Suntour XC Pro
pedals- Suntour XC pro grease guard
shifters- Suntour XC pro thumbies
bar ends- Onza
bottle cage- Ringle
saddle bag- MountainSmith
Several years ago, I decided to break out the old ride and revamp a bit. I had used the original stem and handlebar for another build, years earlier (a Wojick I think). I don't remember what the handlebar was, but I think the stem was a Syncros. I added a new (at that time) Salsa stem and handlebars. Also added a new Selle Italia Flight saddle to replace the original that had been stripped and used on other rides. Replaced dry rotted Ritchey gumwalls with new version of Panaracer Dart/Smoke. I'm not sure if seatpost is the original or not. Nothing special.
After the revamp, it went back in the basement, and there it sat.
