Hello folks,
thanks to a hint from @STX-RC II and with the help of @Guinessisgoodforyou and @bagpuss it finally happened.
Yesterday I had this in the mail.
So thanks a lot mates!
I've been looking for a frame like this for about 10 years and it's finally here.
The condition could be nicer but I won't complain. If everything is perfect there is nothing to do anymore. And besides that a mountain bike is not a collection cup but is driven, ideally.
In addition, I have thereby again the luxury to consider whether I want to maintain the condition of the frame or repaint it. At the moment I am still completely unsure.
I have also already collected a few parts and hid them well for this occasion. I think they will fit the bike very nicely.
I also already found a fork I would love to see on it.... But as I am still in the process of getting it I won't talk about it for now.
I hope I can work on the bike in the coming weeks and I will keep you updated if you want to.
