Re: DBR Axis TT (Team Titanium)
No, not original, but I'm sure over any given trail situation it is significantly quicker than the original build due to the modern components, specifically the forks, v-brakes and tyres. The forks ease rider fatigue too, I can ride for hours on this. The 9 speed transmission is lighter and has a better spread of ratios than the original. I built it for racing, pure and simple - and it is VERY quick, although quite twichy due to the low weight. It now wears a carbon-railed saddle to match the seatpost and I've swapped the tyres out to 1.8" shedding another 1/2 lb or so overall. Bring on the 2013 race season.
I've got a period correct 1990 Kona for when I feel the urge to enter a timewarp!
