Re: Shock Zolatone Pine Mountain find in Sydney (true story! nice! yes not a huge amount of good vintage here, the 80s and 90s were relatively low in numbers of people actually riding..and bikes from that era i reckon were simply just ridden into the ground! i know mine where anyway! :lol:

love the powdercoat story! felnzo on ebay, sometimes has those made in usa decals available. originals.

Re: Yeti ARC looking superb so far! you are dedicated, no doubt!

very nice! yes those tyres make it look very 'portly' if you are ridng it regularly, kenda makes some nice 1.9 tyres that visually look about the right size. they are on my '92 zaskar in the link below. vees might not be period but they work well. will be nice when you get some flat bars on it...

one of the coolest GT's i have seen in a long time! nice score, love the sounds of the refurb plans also

good laugh. i agree with all his points, he is right. for some reason though, as we know, collecting and riding these old parts is still fun, even if they don't work as well as the modern stuff

issue 2 through 17 incomplete, on sale for £2 a copy currently until the end of january (soon!) at the rouleur shop site. thats a pretty good deal. http://rouleur.cc/shop/collections/sale

awesome frame given all the original bits. particularly the forks and stem, not easy to find. this will build up to a superb first gen zas'

for the '94. i have some judy forks that have a longish steerer..that i can't bring myself to cut. the control tech being flat on top, allows me to run the stem low (which i like) and have the spacers on top. the syncros stems are cool and all, but that chisel cut top profile is really impractical..

sweet!

nice one! sounds like your plans are all good to me and its a nice collection of bits. it will look great once you decal it up again

cool, thanks longboard, PM sent your way

Re: 1994 GT Psyclone Progress At Last looking great so far! definately keep the flite saddle on it!
