In search of a mid to high-end slick steel mountainbike frame originated in the early 90's.
Inspired by some frames that went up for sale recently (but that eventually not ended up in my place; too expensive, too small, too ?),
I've created a shortlist of some brands that I desire: Voodoo, Marin, Orange, Rocky Mountain, American Eagle, etcetera.
Especially the last one is high on the list since I have parts of brands laying around that were mounted on a '96 Olympic bike from that brand.
I do not want to create a duplicate but build up a bike that could be considered as the champion's poorer brother (or even nephew);
Magura rim brakes, Crossmax wheels, Magura Rond WP suspension, XTR derailleurs, that kind of thing.
Some do's and dont's;
As big as possible.
1 1/8" headtube.
May be in a sorry state but constructional intact; love to do my own paintjob and decalling.
Prefably without fork.
I know there are a few dutchies around on this on site; please be invited to reach out.
Do you have something laying around, please sent me a PM.
