Thanks it took a couple of attempts to get the paint and clear coat to the point I was happy with it. I like the colour scheme reminds me of a shell suit my mum used to make me wear around that time. 😆

The Young at work with gave me this. He found it left in the shed at his new flat in Aberdeen. I don't think it's anything special but I've enjoyed sorting it out. The Frame was covered in surface rust so I cleaned it up and re-painted it with sign writers enamel and sponges around the original...

I've finished sorting out my Axis I'm really pleased with how it's turned out. It's a tiny bit small for me but I'm enjoying riding it about anyway and it looks mint!

Hi apologies if this is in the wrong place, I'm new to the forum and retro mtb's in general. I do a fair bit of work on more modern bikes but I've been half fancying a retro MTB project for a while and picked this DBR axis off gumtree on a whim. Its got an ugly steerer extention and oxford...
