Actually, snowflakes are pretty tough wheels!!

the feeling of a rigid fork steering is like nothing else beats sloppy sus forks anyday!

dont know how far i could ride with them now though ....been a bit spoilt with bounce!!

Oh.....I'de heard they are weak :? S'pose it depends on who built 'em!!!

Yea, I would like to go rigid again.....its how I learnt to ride MTB's BITD ;)
 
i used to ride a 92 gt tequesta with a set of P2 back when I was at school, took it everywhere.
But once I got my first pair of sus forks (quadra 21R's oooo 63 mm of travel :LOL: ) I havnt ridden rigid since.
 
just had another check over and it even had the front reflector still in place as well as the clear plastic tube covering the rear brake cable to stop it rubbing the paint!!

and the cables are crossed under the down tube too...
I remember them doing this to make a straighter line for the shifting :roll:

Also protects the head tube from cable rub, I always do it.

Definitely 96 size 19, looks like a good condition frame, you owe your workmate a pint!
 
took some better pics out in the sun today,
There a few scratches but most will t-cut out and the rest is just dirt and neglect.
