Picked up this gem from SteveK last night, I hate to see grown men cry but rest assured it is in good hands :)

Shes a 1997 King Kahuna in exceptional shape, 19" frame.

Forks are going to be courtesy of RAFBIKES, some nice RC30's.

The build is mainly going to be XTR M95* series, some Kooka, Ringle, X Lite, Flite and Mavic wheels will complete things.

Will post more photos as build continues, should be ready to ride by next weekend :cool:

Hope you like????

That looks like its going to be a super clean, sharp build. Love the tyres! Look forward to seeing it together :D
 
Looks pretty cool already !! Looking forward to seeing the developments :cool:
 
Getting closer to completion. Added the XTR M951 rear V's, XTR front mech, Kona race light bars and the part im most pleased with......

HarryBurgundys' Tune Six Pack chainset/BB which is now silver :cool:

RC30s will be fitted tomorrow along with remaining XTR parts and cabling.

The forks are only for photo purposes, RC30s will be on tomorrow :)

The Evos were not easy to come by, but managed to pick up a few pairs from a Scott sponsored rider :cool:
 
A small matter but I think it's a 1998 frame. The decals certainly are 98, the cable routing is 98-style, I think the top tube is 98-style. Not a big deal though.
