it looks superb! that is a really nice top shelf build that does the fram justice. whats inside the forks spring and cartridge wise? have you taken it for a ride yet, it must ride well i would imagine.


Thanks - I need to check the spec with the chap I got them off

They've got springs in both sides although I couldn't tell you the exact brand and a 75mm Risse cartridge

looks good Martin, maybe get some monochrome FSX decals made up to follow the theme of the frame decals you've had done?

Stem wise, Tioga Alchemy is the tidiest you can get and was specced on a lot of the DBRs back then.

Up-date 8th March

New M900 cassette fitted along with Tioga Psycho K tyres, Tioga Alchemy stem and Onza Chill-Pills - A few pics taken before quick 'shake-down' ride .....

I like it I just wish I could take a decent pic of a ti bike :? Maybe I need to try indoors with less light to reflect off the metal?

I might try the silver Ritchey Logic cantis and see how they look instead of the black ones - thoughts welcome

Cheers

Wow, that looks even better now, Martin! Very nice! The silver cantis might be the finishing touch.

the stem looks great! the psycho's too, but what's the reason for changing the z-max tires?
one more vote for silver canti's

Thanks

I thought the Psychos were more 'original' and more in keeping with the rest of the build

Silver cantis...............
