2000 GT DHI Project

[trxrincon]

Hey, I just thought I'd put up some pictures of my next project. She needs a fair bit of love but I'm looking forward to getting stuck in. Plans are to get the forks reprinted, return it to xtr, out an SDG belair on it, new tioga DH tyres. I might also get the rear shock serviced.finally touch in the paint chips.

Let me know what you all think.

Hey mate ill be watching this one closely, i'd like the same project but these are rare over here in Australia.

The shocks pop really easy, a service would be good but it maybe best off buying an older fox rc there were so far ahead of there time and are very good shock considering there age and solid, I do like the fact of keeping it original thou or build it up to word cup race spec.

Pretty sure I have original michelin comp 16's and 24's if your interested in buying them ? I actually have a spare pair of 2000 Boxxers in Black over here which I don't think ill use, I built a Giant ATX TEAM DH so found a red pair which are perfect.

Ill keep ya posted, and help yo dig up some pictures.

I won some NOS (using the term correctly) still in bag Tioga DH 2.3 FAT 66 tyres. That's all I'll be buying for her for a while I need to save up and get the idrive unit and shock serviced and that ain't gonna be cheap!

I've actually just found this bike for sale on here 3 years a go... She looked in better health then!

Here's some more parts for the build.

Xtr cranks and bottom bracket. It just goes to show you can still get a good bargain £58 for both cranks and bb.

Pro delux service kit... At last and some other bits

The bike is in the shop at the minute getting the idrive unit serviced and some other bits doing.. Fork is at paint.

Turns out I don't need that rf crank any more!

Re:

Awesome, this is my old bike. Great to see the old girl again and that you're putting so much love into it.

Dude, I've actually sold it on to a friend on here (ba57ards) or Tony, he's sorting it out nicely.
