Obviously I'm up for this but which bike. I can go for several builds as I have oodles of spares. I might go for my Apollo GT clone as frankly its rubbish and might never get another opportunity 
I thought another website had picked up on this thread!

Re:
Keith,
You'd need to come over some weekend we're both free in daylight and help me root out the bits for a build. I have loads of stuff but its chaotically stored and most of my bikes are gate sized

Re:
Rob very kindly sold me back the Shivers which were part of the original DH8 build, this got the build kick started again.
Though this is'nt the bike for Dunkers i thought i'd show it anyway, i'll be re-doing the Clockwork for Dunkers which i'll document on here.
Unsure what to do about brakes ?, have a set of Mono Mini's but hoses are far too short for the DH8 and was thinking of keeping these for a RetroMod XC build anyway.
Really out of touch with what's decent though, always stuck with Hope in the past, had my eye on a set of Avid 5's which seem reasonably priced.
