Bought new in '92 in Cedar City, UT for $800 because it had been scratched when built (electric skateboard came much later). Rode in the evenings with bats in St. George after work--great bike! Rode Slick Rock in Moab, UT with fat slicks on it--very fun! Was my daily commuter until it was stolen in Feb.'11. Replaced it with a built-up M200SE.
My daily commuter '92 M1000 was stolen in Feb.'11, so I found this one locally for $75 (for the frame mostly). Reused the seat and frame--replaced everything else new for my new daily commuter. Is 23lbs. with fenders! Rides like a dream...
A frame that was lying around at a bicycle parts supplier's depot in NOS condition.
It has been equipped with a vintage Shimano 600 set, Gipiemme wheels, a Wound Up fork, Aerozine crankset and various other bits and pieces, without any attempt at being philologically correct but just to assemble a lightweight bicycle that will be pleasant to use and, why not, to look at.
Most euro only, but a few stayed in the states. I bought it new Oct. 1990 at Wash. DC bike show via Metropolis Bicycles. $1200. A ton more than I ever paid for a bike, but I had to have it being American/Italian.... like me.
