This came up a long time ago on :twisted: bay.
It was a pretty hammered tatty example, came with chuckaway lx wheels, worn out freehub, worn out rims, mix of xt/r drivetrain, raceface bits all scratched and abused, bso type seat, no grips, and a pair of abused filing cabinet grey fox forks, rusty cables, shagged out chain etc etc etc.
but it was stupid cheap, and 20 minutes drive away....so i had a cheeky bid.
not sure what to do with it yet...but im thinking it needs to be a hardwearing bike that will take sum abuse.....it will probably get used mostly for street riding..., flights of steps, drop offs, occasional jumps, but im thinking a bike i can do everything on, mess around, in the woods, as well as cross country haul too........ :roll:
bitd, spent a lot of late evenings riding with the boys, messing about street riding/racing when it was too dark for the woods, ...............so im thinking.... "cafe racer"/"street racer"..........
I wanna make use of what i have already, .......any thoughts....??????
