Dirt Disciple
$1900 AUD
It is with much hesitation that I have decided to sell one of my pride and joys. I seriously get a thrill looking at and riding this piece of cycling art but it needs go to another enthusiast to fund a XC marathon race full suspension project because the misses doesnt seem to think that we need a bike art gallery in the shed and apparently we still need to put food on the table. Rest assured, Ill be talking to her about her shoe and handbag collection.

Re:

Hi and welcome!

That looks fast!
I could imagine that not everyone in this part of the forum appreciates the 'upgrade' that was made to the frame though, or the parts you decorated it with, so it might be worthwhile offering it in the 1998 --> For Sale section.

Good luck!

:D
