Purchased this from the Rt. Hon. NorthernDave and is set to replace my '99 I foolishly sold during an extended bout of Unemployment :twisted:

Coming on Great Guns this Build :twisted:

Just had the call from Argos Racing, and it's been locked in for September 17 so this Thread may lay dormant until shortly thereafter.. But.. I will update the Build Spec and maybe even upload a photo or two of some of the kit..

I did win some nice forks yesterday which will be getting the Champagne Treatment too.. :cool:
 
that should look very lush :cool:

paintwise it remember me of a build I saw arround 98 in a german bike magazine - golden NOELL M 5 with blue 1st gen. SID and 1st gen. CrossMax, 95x - that really look the business :)
