1994 Bigfoot Smokestone

Red accents look brilliant!

Cheers for all the positive comments guys.

And a massive thanks to you Mike for helping me out with the top-cap for the ATAC and the resident sithlord for a nice ti bolt.

All that remains now is the decals. . . .but I do have some XT cantis on route as well

How did you get on with the decals?

Only reason I ask is I've just 'unearthed' my old Ozone CO2 bike from the garage - minus decals - and these would really finish it off prior to me selling it

!!

Damn nice bike.

It took me ages to choose / find the parts I wanted, constantly changing things as I went. Even now I have some red Ritchey Logic pedals on the way as well as some m900 cranks (although these will prob be put onto something else!)

After the decals arrived I nervously applied them and I think they look ace, here goes.













This will be a rider but I have to admit that I will be using some more standard tyres (seeing the price these have gone for recently I just cant bring myself to do it! )

If anyone needs some decals for their Bigfoot PM me as I can pass you the details of how to get some at a good price (the artwork has been done)

Massive thanks to those that have helped me out with parts and ideas.

Only thing now is, what next. . . . . . . . . :?:

Certainly tidier than when we first saw it.

Nice work.

You're not wrong there mate. Thanks again for letting me have it off you in the 1st place. (although I have probably saved you a few quid )

I've been keeping tabs on this one myself... Nice work fella and a very balanced build - sometimes not easy with great big fat alu frames

Love what you've done with this bike - it looks great.

I didn't know about these until I read your thread - definatley on my 'want' list - from Glous too so got to be good.

Nice bike, looks Ozone to me as it has some same features as mine.
