So I picked up the 1996 Adventure in a 66cm frame yesterday for our tall Swiss forum member @
tomhaegler . We got it for a good price but failed to see the dent in the downtube. The seller apologised and fixed it with us but it's still a gorgeous colour.
Wine red as it's called in the brochure but not the purple we see up there, but a deep luscious red. Gold lined pink decals.
Just like the 1999 it has a Hardtlite FM-1 double butted chromoly frame and feels surprisingly light. The specs here say 15.3kg (
33.73 lbs) for the 60cm model but you could probably get that down quite easily with some lighter parts.
Really curious what he is going to do with it, I heard he is turning it into a drop bar gravel bike
