repainted black satin, oringal darkgrey not sure if 97-98 seems to be a 97 with newer fork fitted warranty maybe?

looking good, another nice and hardcore build.........but... I hate that tyre :evil: skid that puppy to death :twisted:

red ano turbines look real nice with the black satin frame!

thanks!

I like it, though some other red ano accents would top it off nicely.

hmm

I might just have to sort out some disc's on it so I could ride my Red chris king hubs on it then...

So the help part!

Borrowed a Judy C 80mm's from 2000 something (not the final fork).

I've tried this bike with my Skareb fork and thought it was to high up front. the judy should be the same height as an 80mm's SID WC?

don't really think the difference between the 100mm's skareb and 80mm's RockShox is that big?

Also, could I maybe lower the handlebar with a more negative rise stem? a´la cannondale?

I'm thinking of ditching the v-brake up front and go with my bb7 setup...

I just bought some Sram Attack gripshifts insteed of the Triggers, but what brake levers should I get? Cane Creek has a pair that looks pretty good at a decent price. or should I go with Avid? Have had them before and didn't really like em...


Posting some pics of the current build, with dirt. so you all can see that it has been used (one time but) and a picture of the old build with an 100mm's skareb and in white...
