I’m pretty sure* they did, I think there was one for sale (and sold) either on here or eBay in the last 6-12months, and seeing it jogged my memory that I think it’s the bar I bought when I upgraded my Indian Fire Trail over the 92/93 winter period. *Could be wrong.

Isn't it a '94 with that top/seat tube cable guide? Agree '93 decals though.

@AGT have you tried adding it directly to the archives? 18mb shouldn't be an issue. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/new-archive-using-submitting-resources.467099/

Like the one in this pic, but Ti (pic taken from an old eBay listing)

I've got a 31.4dia Marin Lite seatpost, not the prettiest but should be correct size I believe.

I'm looking for an early X-Lite flat Titanium bar - which I believe came with a shim. Not the later 540 Pro bar. Needs to be uncut and ideally in tip top condition. Any out there? Thanks.

👋 I'm sure @fguki will be along soon to advise what he can offer. He helped transform my '91 550 (though it was only the elastomers in my case) : https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/need-new-elastomers-for-your-pro-flex-speak-to-fguki.469825/ In the meantime keep posting in order to open up you...

@boy"O"boy Wow. I'm amazed any of those weren't considered best in their respective months. Really does highlight the level of competition entrants go up against!

Really enjoying your passion for this project 👍 Palmers arrival on the scene was definitely an influential one, and the speed at which his clothing/appearance style spread through the downhill riders was crazy. Not something that I could pull off, but many went for it!:D Also loving that r/c...

That’s a beauty 😍

That's entirely up to you. Some like to honour those who reply publicly on the thread, but many deals are done without that happening.

@Spanky22b you've got a crown race on there which isn't anything to do with the forks - might want to remove it if you're keeping the headset it belongs to.

;) Reflecting on a surprising runner-up spot in the April BOTM poll, got me checking exactly how many times I’d been a runner-up, as I was thinking it must be 3 or 4 by now. But no, as far as I can tell I’ve been a runner-up 5 times now! :oops: That’s from about 15 or so entries since late...

If it's anything like my old '94 FSR (now departed), the serial number may start with the year.
