Thought I’d make a little build/find thread for my 1994 Dekerf Mountain.
I found on eBay listed as a Dekurf so it was a bit of a fat-finger spelling mistake bargain. It was located only a mile or two from my parents place in Dorset and it ended on a weekend while I was down there so it was meant to be.
Seller was a nice old guy who was a bit of a keen cyclist and intended to build the Dekerf up for his wife. He lost interest so it sat as a rolling chassis for a long time before he sold it to me. He told me it came from a neighbour, and given the affluent areas that they lived in, it I wouldn’t surprise me if there were more high quality old mountain bikes languishing at the back of some garages there. Here’s the as found pics.
