I’m in deep, but what is it...

- Start date
I found info to be limited.
Verlucchi is the bike makers- the welders. They made frames for a host of other bike makers, but are from a motorcycle background.They appear to have also released under their own brand.
Rudy project is the same rudy project that now does the sunglasses. They i believe started off selling bikes. I dont know its exact history, or whether they developed away from general into sunglasses or whether its was a name buy out or such :?
The stem i had was branded Verlucchi, the forks were marzocchi's.

I built it with a full XT, thumbies so 7 spd.
Might be a thread on it, cant remember :? Im terrible are recording these makings
A few pics, but unfortunately not too detailed.
The forks, and stem would be spec, the groupset likely a mid range to XT much like the majority of frames available at that time. How ever much you had to spend.

Nice, I found the pictures of your bike, but no build history.
Is the frame wide enough to hold a 2x10 Shimano body?
Did you see the link I posted on the fork for
Sale in Denmark?
I’m still going back and forth on the whole moderne wheels and disc brakes .
Would it be sacrelige to go with modern stuff, does it need to be going back? I just love to run a good fork and good brakes that will stop me on anything.
Would it bee a cool upgrade to run a Hydraulic V-brakes?
Or is it cantilevers till we die? What is the general consensus?
I wish I could ride a stock one, before making up my mind.

Could be, mine is 1 1/4 inch, or so the seller told me.
That is on the large side, right?
Didn’t they start 1 inch, and then go to 1 1/8 inch.
At least before they went to tapered.
Speaking of teapered, I’ve been looking at a Specialized S-Works 2010 fullie epic “Brained” front fork. It’s cheat because very few wants to run 26 inch wheels. He wanted something in the ballpark of 40£, and could come with handlebars and used headset.
Or would that be sacrilege.
I’ve found a set of 26” Syncro, with tires and Shimano Shodaw Kassette and Discs, from a Scott scale, 20£.
Thanks for clearing this out, now I know my eyes are still working and I have at least a few potentially effective working hours ahead of me.
Personally I've somehow managed to keep away of those 1 1/4" head tubes, I have a garage full of 1 1/8"s and couple of 1.5"ish cannondales. But good luck with your build, it definitely screams for some purple parts around it!

Any chance you remember the side of the headset? 1”, 1 1/8” and 1 1/4”?

The addition is real!!!
I was looking for cheap parts for my projects, and got the flunky idea that a good used complete news bike could be a good parts donor, and give the option of a test ride before buying.
And centerscreen on the first search was a Mint Giant ATX 840 and a Specialized Stump Jumper 26”.
Both fairly cheap, the Specialized add said; good old bike, also goodfor parts 59 £ or offer.
The Giant was 98£.
But the rear question is; is this any good for parts, or is it a POS bike?
