Had a customer in other day with a very meh bike, XT 8 speed rapidfires in perfect condition. Asked if he would sell them, or consider selling me whole bike when he was done with it, turns out he fitted them NOS about a year ago, after having forgotten buying them in 1998.
Shimano, if your listening, I will commission 10,000 XT/xTR 1st gen rapidfires to sell to all the weirdo commuter bike folks, they just worked and felt so good!

Amazing perseverance with the Magura, the potential waiting to be tapped but always tantalisingly just out of reach. Or is the pursuit of the potential a good part of the appeal, like the eternal search for the 8 speed XTR thumbie?
