Re: Norwegian 1988 DBS OFFROAD 1800 XL

What a cool and interesting piece of MTB history, love it!
LIke both the tyre choices, but especially the Timbuk IIs :D
 
After some rouble I got of the ancient BB. Inside there was no rust! I had expected something different of the a 25 year old bike ..

The FC-6206 fits perfect

Looks fantastic that, never heard of the brand, looks a lot like a GT , does this manufacturer have any relationship to GT ? as I thought the triple triangle thang was a GT patented design. ?

The tyres look great , is there a distributor in the uk for these ?
 
That is a true beauty: lovely colors, great design, slimness, character: it has it all :cool: !

Tyre-wise I'd say: Timbuks up, Onzas down :) .
 
Thanks - I agree regarding the tyres... the onza's are winners for sure, but a bit to fat for this rig, and a bit to newish...
