So I picked up the 1996 Adventure in a 66cm frame yesterday for our tall Swiss forum member [MENTION=439047]tomhaegler[/MENTION] . We got it for a good price but failed to see the dent in the downtube. The seller apologised and fixed it with us but it's still a gorgeous colour.
Wine red as it's called in the brochure but not the purple we see up there, but a deep luscious red. Gold lined pink decals.

Just like the 1999 it has a Hardtlite FM-1 double butted chromoly frame and feels surprisingly light. The specs here say 15.3kg (33.73 lbs) for the 60cm model but you could probably get that down quite easily with some lighter parts.

Really curious what he is going to do with it, I heard he is turning it into a drop bar gravel bike
