For Sale: Quick Sale: Alpinestars Al-Mega '89 Shimano

I'm trying to fund a cycle trip and since all my money is invested in two-wheels, sadly I have to sell this little guy.

1992 Alpinestars Al-Mega DX MTB frame TT c-c 56cm
with
1989 Specialized Rockhopper SHIMANO groupset

The shimano set on this is quite rare as far as I know, this was one of the first real mountain bike component sets that shimano manufactured. The brake levers are big and chunky and motorcycle-like which is what they used at the time as an adaptation for mountain bikes. Gear levers have that old-school manual adjustment, no clicking nonsense, it also means they will work with bigger cassetes at the back without having to change the entire gearing groupset.
3 chainrings on the front, 7 at the back.
MAXXIS Swampthing chunky tires. Lots of rolling surface to glide over those twigs and branches in the forest, and if let some air out it will soldier through a muddy ditch and snow.
Selle Italia Flite saddle
Pink Jagwire MTB cables
Black Forks (although they look suspension are actually rigid).
Centre Pull Brakes
KMC tough chain

The bike has lots of little painted details that make it a real character. Could even have potential as a girlfriend bike. And it looks nothing like the modern carbon ridiculousness, so you won't look like a snob when you turn up for a ride in the mountain, just an honest piece of nostalgia. Definitely gets attention.

Selling it with flat shimano pedals (groupset correct ones below). It also has a sticker of my name which I'll take off for you.

Would like to sell today or tomorrow hence the very low price. The pink cables cost 40 quid alone.
