1990 - 1995 Spent pretty much every weekend either riding or racing in the early 90s...it was was life was about and I had all the time in the world. Halcyon days! Bike wise has to be either the Klein Attitude (dolomite colors) or Kona Hei Hei.

This is so good. What an amazing build. I've always had a real soft spot for original syncros parts. I talked my parents into taking me to the syncros factory when I was on on holiday over there...they gave us a tour of the place and were super friendly...a day I'll definitely remember.

Good shout, the Trailstar was quite a groundbreaking frame really. Spooky are long gone though

This exactly Late 80s early 90s was just a period where drugs (performance and recreational) seemed to be everywhere and MTB racing was no exception! I remember some pretty wild nights camping before racing! Tomac brought something to the table that others didn't at the time...style and skill...

Another vote for Klein. The Attitude was so different and ground breaking to what was around in 1990. Spooky was another brand that made some really good stuff. The precursor to the jump bike we know today.

Lovely build, those early splatter Konas look so good. I always picture high end konas of that period being kitted out with Suntour but that Campag goes so well on it. Bikes with patina imo are the best...no worries taking them out for a good thrashing!

What a build. Amazing. Hats off for having the patience and perseverance to source the parts...a lot of us would have just stuck other stuff on! Snowflake wheel lacing divides opinion...I've never been keen on it but a minor thing. Time to dig my '93 Hei Hei out although its going to get...

Thomson is nice. what's the reach and angle on it?

Can't remember off the top of my head when clamps went to 31.8 so hope I have the right area to post. I'm after an ahead 1 1/8th stem with a 25.4mm clamp size. Short would be great as would black and aluminium. What you got? Cheers Neil

Re: FS: 2x Pace RC20 champagne chainrings - outer and middle I'm after a middle Pace ring...would you consider selling the 38 separately?

Re: NOS Suntour XC Pro levers with NOS Hardliner cables No worries Neil

Anyone got the canti springs...would be interested in a donor set I could use the springs from. Cheers Neil

Trying to cobble together my old M735 XT group to go back on a Kona frame and have found I'm in need of a few small parts. I'm after the following XT crank bolt covers..these were chromed plastic and usually broke/went AWOL so could be a long shot! tbh if anyone has some crank bolts with...

Re: Dekerf Tuning Fork, NOS XC Pro levers, Rock Shox SID 1998 Interested in the forks What travel are they again and can you mount a canti hangar on them. I notice there is a hole in the brace, is this threaded for a mount/hangar? Cheers Neil

Re: Pace rc36 fork £115 Nice forks, along the lines of what I am looking for. What travel are they again...I assume they are V brake only (lack of canti hanger) Cheers Neil
