I'm drawn to the Armstrong... it looks "right". What size is it and how much?

I've jsut been looking at those too... I'd love one but I suspect they are well outside my price range :shock: http://bikepure.org/2013/09/lemond-bike ... interbike/ Here is my 1997 Lemond Buenos Aires. Not as nice as the bike above but I like it. I know... it's a Trek era 853 frame but...

That's fine enough to get me fired up again... the gallery on Chas's website has some new pictures up and the new DOGS look brilliant.

Good to see this frame back on here. I agree with the others that mostly silver will work well for the build. I had a lot of fun with it when I had it :D Watch what brakes you try to run - the rear brake post spacing is very wide which makes running some brakes impossible. Have fun 8)

Brilliant build. I've just finished mine 8)

Yes... I really did sell the 1993 Dave Lloyd CATS WISKAS and my 1999 Trek 8900 to buy this... and so far I do not regret it at all. Photo shows how she looked after SSEC where I stripped the gears off after wrecking the rear wheel on my SS Explosif. One of the main reasons I went for...

I rode five miles on this rim. A few more pics here... why did I take so few pictures? http://mountainmaniacs.fotopic.net/c1839967.html Because I was having so much fun :D

Hi, I need a front wheel. Rim brake type. Nice XC quality prefered so let me know what you have available.

I have very few pics but some great memories. I had to ride five miles on my rear rim on the Friday social ride after the 15 year old M231 sidewall on my retro explosif gave out... bloody V-brake rubbish :lol: I could no longer be retro but at least I could still ride. As mentioned above -...

I'll add my congratulations and thanks to the above list. I had an ace weekend and the 8 hour drive both ends was well worth it. Shame I didn't get to ride my Explosif on more than the Friday social but at least I had a back up plan which was put to good use... watch the sidewalls on those...

I'm not going to mess with the perfection that is my Explosif for this "event" 8) It's not about the bike... it's about the cheese.

I'm going to be driving down for Aberdoom early on the Friday. Only me in the car so possible to squeeze in another.

That looks fab. I've got some local beer and cheese on order and the bike is running well so all I need to do now is drive for 10 hours :?

This is getting closer.
