I'm currently in the process of putting together a 1992 DBR Response and in order to gather some of the parts I needed I have acquired 3/4 of an 18" 1991 Apex.
Seen here before it came to me:
I had planned to use this as the basis for a build using lots of Tioga parts (The Response was going to be a catalogue build).
However, the Response will now deviate a little from stock, with some additional period Tioga bits, so my plan for the Apex frame has gone out of the window.
While searching for information (and inspiration) I came across this:
Initially I thought- damn, with I'd seen that sooner :roll: but then I started thinking about doing something similar with the Apex frame. I have a pair of Genesis steel forks that I could probably do some clever splatter effect on to make them 'match' but do I go for it, or try to do another period type build?
I do like expedition/adventure type bikes, and something like this would make for a very cool commuter and also be useful for bike camping trips.
Just thought I'd chat it over with you guys and get some other opinions, because I can't make my mind up.
