Finally a little ,but great update on my Intense m1 Shaun Palmer tribute build 🤩 Earlier on ,i was able to source Near mint condition SDG ventura ti saddle. Unfortunately, it was yellow,but as they are rare,it was a welcomed find and buy. I was debating painting it red,as the saddle has to be...

hey mate.Thank you soo much for kind words. Much apreaciated :) yeah it is getting there...to be fair i am almost trying to drag it out as much as possible,,just to keep the build process as long and tedious as possible....so maybe that is why i ended up wanting to make the build as CLOSE to the...

Thank you so much for kind words mate 😊 Yes i agree totally. he was for sure a pioneer in many ways.I really love his total style and skills,and approach to the whole thing. Oh so the Tamiyas was spotted ..hehe . Thank you again,yes im a total rc nerd aswell, especially 80s and 90s Tamiyas. I...

Also as you might spot in one of the above pictures, i have sourced the proper crank for the bike. TopLine crank.unfortunately i will never be able to find the 100 percent correct one, as the one Shaun Palmer used,supposedly is a DH custom version.The crank spider is the most tell tale sign of...

Hello people Another little update. I have finally sourced a special part for my build,a new old stock part... The almighty Ringle SuperDuper 8 rear hub 🤩😍 I have also sourced rims,unfortunately not been able to get a set of 32h Mavic 121s, so for now i am settling down with a set of almost...

Thank you so much for kind words man. Hah i know the feeling of what you are talking about.BUT, not i dont see it with the colors on the maguras and the bike.They were never meant to be the same, so it is pretty accurate for what it is 🤩But i apreaciate your comment and view ,cause like i said,i...

Next up,was the tires. I REALLY want a set of NOS IRC Missile 2.25 tires.BUT they are pretty hard to find,and i havent had any luck at this point. THOUGH i did come across a different type of " older" IRC tires,called "Trailbears". They are the same dimensions,and also basically the same thread...

Also..this picture is abit cool The decal/placement was ,and is still a little thing of debate for me. The yellow bike i am replicating,,is supposed to have the SWAG decal on the main frame...but i LOVE the way it was placed on Shauns USA flag bike...on the lower chainstay.I just think its sooo...

And my lovely ODI grips that i was able to find NOS. These are not specific to Shauns bike..but rather specific to the ones i have on my Lobo...which in turn are original to my Lobo with it beeing a custom /me build in 1998 :) They are super nice to hold on to,and i also love the look of them

Next up was some items i had been looking around for for a good amount of time Magura Raceline rim brakes,,and Azonic Shorty stem The Shorty stem was supposedly a 100mm one..as written on a spec setup picture of Shauns bike..but the picture clearly shows a 80mm version.So that is what i hunted...

Thank you so much :) hehe yes..the Lobo loves to show up here and there ;)

Thank you so much for kind words. :)
