A quick walk around, ‘92 Ascent EX in Neon Green Splatter. Full double-butted True Temper AVR frame and fork. This bike is a Large (19.5”) frame. Shimano LX groupset (with Tioga bb and headset). Everything is original in the video except for modern Tektro 720 cantilevers, chain, cables/housings, modern grips and saddle, and new Panaracer tires. Complete restoration/preservation.
I've got one in bright blue, same size too. Thinking about converting it to a gravel bike. I love to the sound effects of the gravel as you walk around the bike!
Awesome. Hah! Thank you. That’s an old video. My newer ones all have music to cover my stomping around sounds.
I recently found this exact frame in the same colour , it was nearby a few dumpsters in a parking lot, unfortunately it had a snapped chainstay tube although I was able to salvage a mint Made in Japan Shimano sealed bb, some budget 1X suntour cranks & a Kona Project 2 straight fork, funniest thing is it had a California registration plate that expired in 1995…meanwhile I’m way up north in Canada , man if bikes could tell stories.
I agree. Some pretty amazing places some bikes have been. Unfortunate about the chainstay, but still a fantastic find. These were cool bikes. As I recall, I sold this frame and fork on eBay. I’m sure it’s been on many new adventures since. Thanks for checking it out and sharing!
I love vintage MTB.
Nice!
Very nice. I have a DB Ascent EX as well. I don't know what year though.
Very cool!
Is this the original paint?
