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...

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 :)

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

Next up was some items i had been looking around for for a good amount of time Magura Raceline rim brakes,,and Azonic Shorty stem The Shorty stem was supposedly a 100mm one..as written on a spec setup picture of Shauns bike..but the picture clearly shows a 80mm version.So that is what i hunted...

Thank you so much :) hehe yes..the Lobo loves to show up here and there ;)

Thank you so much for kind words. :)

Next up...I was turning my attention to the " components of the bike,and fine tuning " which route am i going" And again....i was determined more than ever..to get all the components right...at least to do my best Initially i got a NOS MRP chaindevice laying around..which i have been unsure of...

Next up...was another "oh i need to make the bike more alike Shaun Palmers bike I NEED to equip the bike with lovely Magura Raceline rim brakes! No disc brakes allowed on this space :) The rear upper chainstay on my bike did for some reason NOT have the mounts for cantilevers,so i was in a...

At this pooint.. i was like ." maan i need to make this bike " as close to Shaun Palmers bike as possible And i started to look into the fork. The stanchions needed to be black as the Boxxer factory fork. And at some point,i wanted to make some custom Boxxer factory esque decals for it I soon...

So i decided that i wanted to make some progress with the main thing...which obviously is the frame As the frame was powdercoated, i decided to keep that color as a base coat..making it very durable. So i sanded it down ,and made the frame ready to receive some new paint ,in form of a lovely...
