1998 Dekerf Team SL finally started putting together

[Jones]

Finally started putting this together :roll: I've gone with the fugly stem and modern Syncros post at the moment and although the fugly stem is starting to grow on me I'm seriously thinking of going modern with Thomson stem and post :?

The rest is all nos XTR 952 which is what it was originally built up with this time its going to get ridden though

Even found the original receipt

No time for posting pics n stuff!

Get building. I agree the stem is a stinker!! surley someone has an older Syncros. I have a syncros wedge and engraved topcap.but i don't know what i have done with the stem.

Al.

I thought I had :shock: I had all my bikes chained through a floor anchor in my parents garage at the time, so when I arrived there and saw that the chain was intact I feared the worst :?

There were a few bikes missing when I went to collect the remains though :? I got the Kilauea back almost straight away but only recently got this back ( after I'd bought another one :roll: )

I still can't figure out how the missing ones have returned unscathed while all the rest had big chunks missing from the top tubes :? all I can think is that I used two chains and they cut through one :?: I don't remember using two chains but everything was a bit of a shambles at the time as we'd just moved house and were decorating the new one , so who knows

Gorgeous. Quite similar to the Mrs's. Like the black kit and black rim/ amber wall look.

It brings a big grin to my face ! I've always wanted a dekerf ! Good twist with the rasta stuff

Lucky, sure there's a Chinese proverb about that one somewhere.

Still looks great, has me hankering for one. Would say old-skoll syncros would suit better though.
