First off I have to say thanks Andy this is your fault
This build started by just nipping round to my mates house to see his new Pace full sus (very nice) while I was there he said he had a few things he thought I may be interested in.
He'd been clearing out the shed and found a blue flite, blue Hope sus front wheel, blue rock shox forks and a XTR (950) rear mech.
Not having a retro ride with blue bling this was a bit of a dilemma, what to do with the parts.
That was easily sorted by a quick look through the for sale section, there it was right size, right price just what I needed.
Big Thanks to Longboard Si for the frame.
So Ive a frame & forks, Front wheel, seat and rear mech and now Ive been collecting parts for a few months and most of the other part I need to put the build together.
The frame is a 91 Zaskar with a rear U Brake and the forks are rock shox, It won't be period/catalog correct as i believe that bikes evolve the longer you own them. This build will be built using parts I would of hung off the frame if Id owned it from new.
So here's a few pics to start off and I will add more as the build progress's.............................
So Ive built a rear wheel with a blue Ti hub to match the front and am ready to start hanging parts off the frame
Here's a few pics of it with the wheel's on
I hope to have it built for the end of the week, Just waiting for one or two parts to finish off
