I had my 1992 DB Ascent Ex stolen about six months ago. Still miss it greatly and
wondered if anyone could post some pictures of one as unfortunately I never took
any myself while I still had the bike in my possession.
Thanks for that anyway. The geometry on the bike in the photo looks better than my old
bike with the proportionally much shorter top tube. Much as I miss my old bike, it sure gave me
a backache as I was stretched out so much.

I thought it would be fun to dig up photos of my old bike. THe green '87 Ascent Ex is my dads (not ridden more that 100 miles). I had a yellow '87 Ascent Ex as well that was warrantee replaced in '91. I loved the Apex Le -- should have kept it.

Redid my 1990 Ascent EX into a 1x7. Paint was shot so took down the bad spots and primed/painted as you see. Mostly original or NOS equipped (except front crank).
Found this one yesterday. I rebuilt it and cleaned it up.It still needs work but it rides nice so far. It has the orginal LX components and the paint looks real good. I usually switch to thumbshifters but I think I'll keep the shifters it has now. I need to replace the cables.
Cool. I just got the large version of that same Ascent EX, all LX Components. These old MTBs are sweet! Bought it used, added new cables, chain, grips, tires and slightly used Sugino chainrings (shimanos were trashed). This thing rides great! Solid, real fast on the prairie path. I forgot what a rigid felt like.
I have a DB Ascent EX from early 90's. The paint job is a grey smoke with a tinge of magenta when it is out in the sunlight. Anybody have one and know what year it was made?
That sounds like the right year and the exact same paint job. Mine is an Ascent Ex but they probably used the paint scheme on mulitiple models. I will try to post a picture later.

I have a 1990 DB catalog and I think that's what you might have. The finish is called "Smoke w/ Lilac clear coat", decals are black with pink accents. It came with a full LX group.
I had a 90 Topanga that was white with the purple tinted clear coat. That thing looked great but was a tank.

I assume you mean bottom bracket - the spindle and bearings between the cranks. You can still buy new ones that work - you'll just need to take the cranks off and measure the length of the spindle, then order a 'square taper' one that matches. Note that you need special tools to do this - might be better done at a shop.
I was just wondering if someone had an original out there for sale. I've have put at least 6 miles a day on this bike (mon-fri) to work, and have ridden it extensively on the weekends.
I recently bought a Yeti, bit I'm stuck on my oldie but goodie. Thanks for the info bro.
