[cometdata2]

Okay this was posted on craigslist back in June, but the listing is still active, I wanted your opinion on this is it a true xx team as the color is not the usual you see or is it another model with xx team stickers?

This is a beautiful mountain bike in very good working condition. I just had it tuned up as well so it's running wonderfully. This bike is a 19" 1995 dos equis xx team tree amigos with all original shimano components. These have become pretty rare bikes and have quite the fan base. If you know anything about these bikes, you know that this is a gem. If you're interested,

This bike is a fake and is probably a scam. It is an A2B with a XX Dos Equis stickers. The frame in the picture is a steel frame, yet the description says it is aluminum. Real XX Teams are 7005 series aluminum. Not one of the items in the description are on this bike. I wouldn't even consider buying this bike.

It was the secret weapon for the race team....You know it is fast,it has a red paint job and with ridgid forks super lite weight.

I cannot believe it the the guy has relisted and altered the listing and put the price up check it out, I think he must be checking this forum as he has now removed all the spec of the bike which did not match what he is try to pass off as a genuine Dos Equis
