Thanks! Those were truly great days and some great bikes.
I have to thank Scant as it was through him that I found this excellent site.
Going through some of these threads is like going through the family photo album. Makes me want to find a working VHS player to watch some of the videos I had collected and some that my wife shot of me at those races.
Thanks again and stay well

The Titanium is awesome Paul - do you still have it?!
Almost finished the IBOC thanks to a few retrobikers! just needs a rear brake and pedals. I'm going to ride this for a bit and if I get on with it will repaint it and polish / refinish the components.
Went for a spin on the turbo as it was dark
Had these nice Tioga "Japan" bars:
And this interesting Shimano BB cable guide with removable sealed tubes with o rings! That had me puzzled for a bit as it was bunged up with crud.
The headtube is very small on this bike.

That bike looks great - congratulations on the re-build. I always wanted one of those as well as one of the Ti/steel hybrid IBOCs to complete my Tomac Mongoose collection.
Yes I still have it and rode it last Summer. Still felt great and I missed the lightning fast handling it has compared to modern FS bikes I have.
Again great job and man - you have mighty long legs!
