That looks lovely - and in good nick too. I never saw one in the flesh when they were first out, but do remember the Dirt review.

Looking forward to seeing the finished bike.

Woohoo, 3 hours on the lathe job done
Just the lower shock bushes to do at some point as i didn't have enough stainless steel round bar :roll:

Linkage pivot bushes are all made from phosphur bronze which is self lubricating(to a point).

My mate Jason has done a superb job, allbeit using dimensions supplid by me, there is now no play anywhere

Great work, and now it lives?

It needs wheels but not too far off now

I'm still really feeling the love for this. Great uodate.

Do you think it will be light enough to ride to the top of the hill before ripping it back down again?

Thats the plan
I need to find a cassette with a good range, ideally 11-30 any ideas anybody?

Wheels should be built in the next 2 weeks.
Syncros DPS32 24" rims in white
Marzocchi QR20 PLUS front hub in black
Ringle std qr rear hub in black
Double butted silver spokes and built 3 cross.

Got to use 24" as i can only run a maximum tyre size of 1.9 in the rear if i use 26" and thats simply not wide enough

Wheels are on route
Need a short cage M952 rear mech and a M952 rear shifter without a window
Oh, and a chain and a 11-30 cassette of some sort
