I get that,its just that you started of by saying..holy shit thats my old bike "... To me that sounded like it was the exact same bike,,,but you just meant it reminded you of your old bike 😆

How do you know that bike is the same as mine?

What do you mean it was your old bike? Did the frame i have, belong to you before?

Just another mood pic orb2,while we are at it 😊

Thank you so much for kind words 😀The same goes for me, at least the m1 was one of veeerry few bikes ,that was dream bikes back then.another one for me ,has to be a yeti lawwill dh4/6 ....and im also lucky to have a Gt Lobo Sts dh, which i also have owned from new,with some sidesteps along the...

Thank you so much mate ,for kind comment 🤩Luckily its getting there, but i want to drag it out abit ,cause i dont want the build to end.So i have decided to be even more picky with accuracy,,so i make sure the build doesnt end as quickly 😀

Thank you soo much for kind words. That is much apreaciated :) And yes...it is in my plans to strip the paint off,the rear drop out :) But i have not decided on how to do it. Either paint it silver, or actually stripping it off as Shauns bike.To get the look ,it would be sufficient to paint...

Just a little something 🙂🤩

Finally a little ,but great update on my Intense m1 Shaun Palmer tribute build 🤩 Earlier on ,i was able to source Near mint condition SDG ventura ti saddle. Unfortunately, it was yellow,but as they are rare,it was a welcomed find and buy. I was debating painting it red,as the saddle has to be...

hey mate.Thank you soo much for kind words. Much apreaciated :) yeah it is getting there...to be fair i am almost trying to drag it out as much as possible,,just to keep the build process as long and tedious as possible....so maybe that is why i ended up wanting to make the build as CLOSE to the...

Thank you so much for kind words mate 😊 Yes i agree totally. he was for sure a pioneer in many ways.I really love his total style and skills,and approach to the whole thing. Oh so the Tamiyas was spotted ..hehe . Thank you again,yes im a total rc nerd aswell, especially 80s and 90s Tamiyas. I...

Also as you might spot in one of the above pictures, i have sourced the proper crank for the bike. TopLine crank.unfortunately i will never be able to find the 100 percent correct one, as the one Shaun Palmer used,supposedly is a DH custom version.The crank spider is the most tell tale sign of...

Hello people Another little update. I have finally sourced a special part for my build,a new old stock part... The almighty Ringle SuperDuper 8 rear hub 🤩😍 I have also sourced rims,unfortunately not been able to get a set of 32h Mavic 121s, so for now i am settling down with a set of almost...

No, this is 😅

Gotta come back and revisit this thread :) This is how far i am in the build.I do have a separate thread on the build though :)

Heeeeeeyyy mate ! :) Wow..so you are in here..that is awesome.Great to see you :) Thank you so much for kind words..and again...i cant thank you enough for selling me this part.As i wrote..this was one of the most important parts on this bike for me,,so it is veery much apreaciated beeing able...

Thank you so much for kind words man. Hah i know the feeling of what you are talking about.BUT, not i dont see it with the colors on the maguras and the bike.They were never meant to be the same, so it is pretty accurate for what it is 🤩But i apreaciate your comment and view ,cause like i said,i...

Next up,was the tires. I REALLY want a set of NOS IRC Missile 2.25 tires.BUT they are pretty hard to find,and i havent had any luck at this point. THOUGH i did come across a different type of " older" IRC tires,called "Trailbears". They are the same dimensions,and also basically the same thread...

Also..this picture is abit cool The decal/placement was ,and is still a little thing of debate for me. The yellow bike i am replicating,,is supposed to have the SWAG decal on the main frame...but i LOVE the way it was placed on Shauns USA flag bike...on the lower chainstay.I just think its sooo...

And my lovely ODI grips that i was able to find NOS. These are not specific to Shauns bike..but rather specific to the ones i have on my Lobo...which in turn are original to my Lobo with it beeing a custom /me build in 1998 :) They are super nice to hold on to,and i also love the look of them
