Nice examples posted above! Mine is far from good shape, it's pretty weathered. Wife likes the factory purple color, so I think I'll repaint it a uniform purple for her.
I have some Suntour XCE gear that I'll combine with the workable X1 pieces that came with it, and make it full Suntour once again.
Well, the seatpost has been 'extricated', so the project saga begins.
