Cheers fella, high praise indeed having seen some of yours!
 
Top story, top bike.

It was that very Summer Special MBUK that got me into MTBing. I remember the Superbike review well, and that Manitou blew me away!
 
Still smiling!

Hadn't realised how mush more there'd been to this Pete!

I followed the original build post, but hadn't checked up on it since the modified rear hub!

Fantastic stuff!

Always great to know the parts people on here have stashed away under the stairs... random spaced forks? No problem! Trail stem and 100mm front hub? This way old boy!!

A true RB treasure.

I'm sure it should be earlier than '92 though? Seems strangely late, but I'm probably confusing things in me head...

I remember making that frame 'watching' status in eBay at the time and if Max had not been working offshore, he would have been in there too...

There's no way I could have done it the justice you have done, mind - a fabulous job for all the RB-knockers! Next stop an invite to top table... ;)

Absolutely fantastic Pete. Very well done, and oh so deserved as you've done it so well. Perfect :)
