1997 Azonic DS-1 Custom Build

Azonic DS1 · Feb 2, 2010

I'm currently trying to rebuild the custom bike i 1st built in 1997, all i've had to go from is a few old photos and my memory, have been collecting parts for 2 weeks and am getting somewhere now.

The bike (1997):

Azonic DS-1 Frame

RST Mozo Pro 3.5" (May swap these for Rock Shox Judy SL's (if i can find some)

Sun Mammoth Rims (Had silver in 97 but black will do)

Deore Hubs

Azonic Shorty

FSA Headset

DCD

WTB SST

Stickers

Still have a few more parts in the post and on my list but i should have finished photos pretty soon. More pictures to come...

Looks like its going to be pretty good. All except the evil little DCD... The one I had came loose and twisted into the spokes, writing off my wheel. A useful tip though: if you wrap electrical tape around the roller it will prevent the chain from wearing grooves into it

Good tip, i'll try that

i had exactly the same problem, but mine was cuz i didnt tighten it up enough when i had last fiddled with it.

(and my DCD ended up with grooves from chain wear

)

How about a bit of 700c innertube cut to the width of the roller and stretched over

Prevents grooves and makes things a little quieter.

I guess its whatever you have lying about. I can imagine the innertube would be quieter but the electrical tape didn't seem to wear at all

700c? Whats that, a size?

S8-Tom · Feb 3, 2010

Road bike tubes are 700c

Cool frame

Thats going to be an ace build once you get all the parts you need to finish.. Keen to see it complete.

you should try and maybe reproduce the moves in the original pics once it's done!
