passiflora · Mar 4, 2011

So I got my Unicorn but then had a urge for something different.

Thanks to World Ranger, I got moi @ Mercedes Benz AMP @ 1996-1997?.

First job get some disc Wheels so what colour should I choose.

Any suggestions I was thinking black, but maybe silver would be better?

Also got some Fox Forks from Ishaw!.

I was thinking of getting some new black mavic crosstrail from CRC

Should be very interesting as I have never fitted disc brakes before!.

So first Question

What colour Disc Wheels?

passiflora · Mar 4, 2011

I think the theme will be white & ilver with black and a little purple what do you all think.

Should the wheels be silver or black?.

Should I add some purple touches.

Was planning on hydraulic cable disc something like the new kooka

Shold be a cool build.. fat with a capital PH

Black or white for the wheels. . . imho... not that I'm renowned for stylishness

Tar Ian I'm really excited about this one!. The frame literally gleams. I was even thinking of White disc wheels !

Shock horror

Sorry I should have said this will be a Retro-esk build, it can always evolve.

Firstly I will be using Fox shocks, If at a later point I come across AMP forks I may well change to them.

But I am looking to ride this one as soon as I can, so want to build it up and then slowly customize it.

White disc wheels would look cool but not ery...erm....retro....but then if you are using fox forks should look good

I'd prefer to see some proper amp forks on this one.Seems only natural

marin man · Mar 5, 2011

A set of F4BLT went on ebay the other day for £226

I only got £140 for mine

cost me nearly £200 to rebuild and have the new pivots CNC'd and the springs made.

I cant remember who here bought my F4's :? but i'd buy them back in a flash now i have spare funds

I just cannot justify or afford the AMP forks right now I wish I could but I can't.

Still I expect people run them with different forks back in the day,

If I get a bargin you never know that may change, but at the moment I shall use the FOX or Pace RC36 which is my other choice.

Thanks for your comments though peeps..btw if you happen to have a spare set of AMP forks your not using..I would happily recieve them.
