The main bike are from 1997/98 but the fork used are a "new" one (function are important when the bike are going to be used as supposed)

lovely machine tech V's - very rarely seen

Carsten G · Dec 29, 2011

Love them, bought them in 97, got plenty of offers since but they are on the bike to stay.

Check the stem it´s way more rare but damm it´s nice and full of viagra (stiff like hell) it´s a keeper for life together with the brakes

Bad light made the pictures so and so, can´t demand all but can try :roll:

true - stem went unnoticed first time - more exclusive than the usual ringle

looking fo a black short FRM myself but rare too !

FRM stem are nice to, hope you will find one in the right size...

If I see one in Denmark I will inform you asap.

Hehe Ringle stem not my taste but plenty of colors if that is what the owners want

just one last comment on your bike
design of the fork graphics don't mix the best with blue and white frame

all black or all white would be more classy

but I understand the "modernity" choice :idea:

You are absolutely right, I have contact to a airbrush painter which will have a go on the fork when I don´t need the bike a week or two.

The idea where that the carbon still will be visual but with a glass like fade of SID blue and white.

The bike had a SID XC Ti on before but sold it, I do still have a new 98 SID XC but it´s just not good enough for my use, unless it´s for the showroom.

Nice bike.

Is that a e-type front mech, and if it is, is there a bolt holding it to the frame?
I am building a carbon bike of my own and have a e-type front mech but no fixing hole in the frame, so it would have to only be held by the BB cup.

Yes it´s an E-Type and there are mounts in the frame, if the frame is an Oclv you have to look at the 97-98 model to get that and also replaceable gear dropout.

You have to use the one with normal frame mount or you get trouble.

Hi Carsten,

First of all; thats a real nice looking bike! Wow! Mine is yellow/purple. But i am thinking of providing it in full yellow with the purple decals.. I am now preparing the new decals.. I gathered some old school stuff too to tbuild my bike. But instead of using them originals, i thought of using nice shiny tuning brands of the 90's to fit on my bike such as Ringle< yes yes, Race face, syncros, chris king, xtr shadow...

Your language isnt that bad.. mine isnt also perfect. Cool how you mention it. Imagination.. I will soon send some pics..

Later m8
