According to Google it looks like a 2005 VIP Nuts 2 (or 3 - seems to depend on the brake mounts).
Wish I was in a position to buy, looks really nice. :(
Yeah I very nearly bought one of the original grey Chutes, but ended up going full sus. Always really liked them.
This one looks great too though. I'm kinda of doing the same ebay thing to get my B17 back up and running.
Finally got to spend some time with the B17 over the long weekend. Gave her a bit more of a clean, got some air back in the tyres, unseized the brakes, swapped the stem for the original Marin one, swapped the bars for my bargain £5 Azonics...
I also managed to finally rip apart and completely...
I'm probably going to be in the same situation. I did a little bit of research and I've seen that people have swapped their shocks for a couple of other models. Fox, and another one that escapes me at the moment.
Mine seems to have gone a bit solid after it's time in the shed so I'll be...
I'm jealous. I've always had a thing for Konas. I wanted one of these 99 family of their full sussers but couldn't stretch to it. I got my B17 instead.
I'd love to stumble on such a bargain myself.
This was a couple of minutes after wiping off the cobwebs. I excuse the rubbish iPhone pic, it's the best I had with me.
I carried on the blue theme with a nice blue Crud Catcher and blue DMR V8s.
Re: Hopefully getting back in the saddle (of my B17)
i was kind of going for a chronological oreder thing... having a wife is more than enough work for me :wink:
Nearly there for the posting of a pic now.
