Sunn Urge 98
I bought this at a bike jumble a few weeks ago as a frame only. It has been used and has a few marks on it, but is straight a nice, small sized frame. Frame number starts S98, and is just about readable under the paint.
I also bought a set of sus-forks at the same jumble, but quickly changed them for a set of Rock Shox Darts. Then, I changed them again, for some more Darts. At this point, nothing had yet been attached to the bike and it needed a tidy.
So a quick wash / clean and whilst its not going to be tidiest of things, it will work and give the intended recipient years of fun, hopefully.
Spec will be based around some earlier 7 speed LX kit which I have from another bike I am redoing longer term. The reason for keeping things relatively simple is that its going to be for my son, and throwing a lot of money at a bike for him will not make him any happier, plus I have spares and as and when things need a refresh, they will probably be upgraded.
