Re:

Very nice, looks like its nice and light to chuck around on the trails, how long is that seatpost too! cant be within safety parameters surely? would love one of these one day - needs to be a barn find so I can do my own thing though.

Bit disappointing you've no red steerer spacers

The result of 30 Kms over really technical - and wet Swedish trails :facepalm:

Sweet.

Its encouraging to see well spec'd and well built examples of this era increasing in values too.

There's a whole 3mm to spare

Got to admit I'm not a huge fan of the stem on that bike but it's still a Fantastic build, I think most for us lusted after one of those with a Tioga Disc Drive back in the day.

Re:

Great to see it looking grubby.

With the right elastomers RC35's are a perfect match to the DB. I have done a couple of Mayhem's on mine, including some too fast downhill night riding, when I have hit unseen roots / rocks hard, and the RC's just shrug it off.

The DB is just a great all round bike and it is no wonder they were one of THE bikes to have BITD.
