Put this together for my gf to ride for 4 month trip around Europe. Has worked well although the front derailer is a bit dodgy after a Ryanair flight so probably need replacing. Has a relatively new rear wheel and comes with a spare front one as described below.
Specs....
Orange C16r 1997 15" cc / 17" ct
Wheels: Front shoddy shimano on an xm317. Rear Deore 610 on a Ryde Zac 2000 with a pretty new shimano 8 speed 11-34. Front rim is fairly worn, will throw in a spare front wheel deore/mystery eyeletted rim which has heaps of life left.
Tires: Marathon Mondial (doube defense) 26x2
Cranks: Alvio, 170
Derailleurs: Shimano stx front (needs replacing), STX RC rear
Shifters: Shimano 3x7 speed. Stx i think. My gf has been fine without the 8th speed but if you want the 11 tooth cog to work you'll need to track down an 8 speed shifter.
Brakes: Shimano BM420
Levers: Tektro somethjngs
Seatpost/saddle: Orange w original shim and specialized riva 155.
Rack: RSP alloy rear rack, goldtec mini front rack.
Bars/Stem: Ergotex Country Bars (cut down a touch). Cool gold dirt drop stem has one stripped threads in one binder bolt hole thing. Other one is fine and my gf aint managed to move it. Will also throw in the old orange sk8 stem which works pretty well with the bars and looks cool af.

Pretty light for an old mtb, apparently a mix of logic and prestige. Would be fukn killer dirt dropped.
Only gonna be back in London for 2 days the, the 19th and 20th of July. Staying in E1 so pickup is from there or I can deliver within a reasonable distance on those days. Any questions just ask. Riding through Norway atm and won't have so much WiFi but will reply when I can. Dibs is cool and middle men are fine so long as pickup or delivery is on either of those days.
Any questions just holler.
