Found some time to shoot better pictures.

Went for a ride with my dog. Found some nice photo-ops.

Yeah, it got bike of the year award on the Dutch MTB forum. Unfortunately I had to sell the bike to get the next one. I know it's hapily riding somewhere in Germany right now :)

The exogrid was unobtainium back then. I had a 2007 RacerX in off-white with matching Fox fork. Was a super fun bike and only replaced it when I tested a 29er Rocky Mountain Element in 2012.

I found a set of Smoke/Dart tires for not too much money (but they're not the folding type). I also found some nice Shimano XT V-brakes with the parallelogram. I know they are not period correct, but I like to have some stopping power on my bikes and these are such iconic brakes. I should...

I found a retailer that offered the non-folding version of Smoke/Dart, so I bought two sets :) Put one set on the RTS.

It really needs the black rims and tan wall tires. Looks cool!

Love the green Michelin tires.

You can use any metal polish I guess. Like Belgom or Sonax or Unipol. Depending on the start state it will take an hour to a couple of days :) and very black fingers if you don't wear gloves. BTW, nice looking LTS after the polish. I have an RTS that I need to polish sometimes again, it's become...

Very nice. Something about red white and blue color combinations.

Wow, those cranks turned out very nice. You did all that during the blackout? Not a big fan of the purple-on-purple look, I would have gone for silver.

Love the neon stuff. Wasn't ESP 9.0 in the era that SRAM sucked at making front derailleurs and just left it to Shimano? I remember a lot of my friends running Shimano fronts on their bikes. No shame in that :)

Diggin' the blue accents.

OMG, the attention to detail... I know you want to keep it close to the original, but I cannot stand the mismatch yellows on the frame and Magura's so I would paint the brakes. But that's me :)

Nice to see one. When they came out, I always thought they were too light to survive. Apparently not :)
