No probs.

For love nor money, I cant find anymore

I seem to remember MBUK did a Works Bike feature on JMC's Salsa....but I ditched all my MBUK's when I left home!

Jez - you're doing more for my old Salsa than i did in 18 years of ownership ! i think it's a GREAT idea ...... i have somewhere close-up pics of his bike taken on a Salsa owners club meet ...... yes all 6 of us ( or was it 7 ?) i will do my very best to dig them out and transfer them to digital ...

Great idea - I remember meeting JMC at Lyme Park in Cheshire, such an approachable and nice guy.

I'll have a hunt for some pics.

My mate beat him on a qualifying dh run once on a rigid yo! Got beat on the race run though when brant richards said he cut the course (adamant he didn't ).

Always thought of JMC as a british tomac. Cool as.

What's changed?

Ok this is what I have for the build:


Salsa 18" frame in jellybean rasta
Tioga Disk Drive rear
Cook bros cranks in black with silver rings (assume Shimano)
Red cables
Flite
XTR m900 rear mech


Now due to the only limited pics I have Im not entirely sure of the bar, stem and seatpost he used.

I think he used M900 shifters and levers but not entirely sure...

Also not sure of tyres but suspect Smoke and Dart combo.
