The second bike in the above thread is actually mine now---that's the exact one I bought from CL in Detroit. The Una is the MTBR bike I saw in this 'colorway' and mentioned in my first post. I need to find the matching touch-up paint though. Little worried it's all for naught since paint doesn't stick so well to ti.

i like the extra white stripe ending the green to the raw ti.

Looks like the white stripe would match the fork I just got. Popped up on ebay just a few minutes ago. Snagged it for a steal, I think. 2007 Fox F80 RLC with v-brake studs. Not period correct by a long shot, but I'll take pics of it with a 1998 Z2 if I find one

Fork went back to the seller, had lots of scratches on the stanchions that weren't disclosed in the listing :evil: :evil:

Back to square one on the fork! :facepalm:

That's a shame. Forks that recent with canti studs are like rocking horse sh*t. And it would have been a great match, both functionally and aesthetically.

If you are not big guy I would suggest '98. SID. If you have more than 80kg go for something with 32mm stanchions such as that lovely fox.
I once had manitou r7 Mrd with v-brake studs, lovely forks and really good looking.
