I just picked up an 85 Ascent from a graciously-staffed Denver shop. It is in mostly very good condition, with a few non-original parts. Think I can polish the paint and do some discrete touching up. Has a black Bullmoose bar with beautiful tig welds. The frame welds are smaller and look alright but not as nice quite as even. The front wheel has an old XT hub but with Mavic rims. Back wheel has a Shimano Acera X hub with Sun rim, so surely a replacement. Not sure if the original wheels had Dura-Ace hubs or XT. Cassette was changed out to a 7 spd. Crankset looks like original Shimano. Shifters are later Shimano, so I may be looking for the thumb shifters to match the originals. Hope to "originalize" it w/o too much expenditure. I'm excited about this bike:)

Is there a URL where people can read or see more about your bike?
