I have some part worn tyres in the loft and I'm pretty sure there is a Farmer John/Cousin combo. Will have a look next time I go up there. No idea what condition they will be in though.

Yes, I had one second hand to replace my Karakoram which was stolen. Then I got it back :twisted:mattbrown":3kczzj5p said:
I was a philostine to the Axis, sprayed it red, then hammerited it black before I knew any better. To top it off, I killed it with an angle grinder and now all I have left of it is the bb shell with an XT bb in it
If only I knew then what I know now.

I had one of those!
Gave it away to someone as a hack bike way back when and they got is stolen. I wish I could rebuy and rebuild one.
Lovely frame, go build! (but be wary of the rather twitchy handling from that fork!)

That bike brings back a lot of memories My first mtb was a similarly massive 22.5" red DB Ascent EX which came out just before the one you've got there with a U brake & Deore LX groupset (seem to remember I had a frame bag on mine too ),think I was about 13 so about 1987?.I bent that bike up pretty bad before I moved on to a Proflex 750.But that DB got me hooked on biking for life.Happy days.... Can't wait to see it built up!!

Slimjoe, are you going to put Mountain LX on it? With those dreadful rubber brake hoods?
Can't wait to see it built!
