Hi guys, been on here for a month or so and have already bought some parts of a couple of members and its been 100% top notch so far
So this is my first build on here, not done this before other than one on my vw corrado vr6 turbo project on a car forum.
Some history on this frame then.......
It was purchased over 15 years ago by my older brothers friend from our local "specialist" bike shop.
he built it up using good quality components of the day, a mix of xt/xtr/x-lite/middleburn
Then he got injured and it sat in his shed for a year or so and he sold off some of the major parts until I convinced him to part with it as I was getting into my MTBing quite a bit at the tender age of 15
Anyway, fast forward quite a few years and after selling the bike,buying it back and selling it then buying it back again then stripping it for the parts it sat in the back of my shed for a long while unloved......
Well here we are today and I know where im going with the rebuild, but I have 1 confession...
The make :facepalm:
So heres some pictures and maybe someone will be able to shed some light
So theres the naff phone pictures so far, despite the condition it is sound with no dents or cracks.
Im looking to get it striped and powder coated, but don't think I am going to be able to get the paint style matched.
Anyway, thoughts, ideas, info all welcome
