Love the frame, google rts 1 and some very accurate builds come up for you to follow.
Back in the day I had the chance to test ride Bike Tech’s demo, had it for the evening. It was the fastest thing I had ridden at that time, blown away how sharp it could turn and eat up the terrain.
The demo did a great job as I bought a frame within the month and the end of it built it, Xt 732/735 and Manitou 2 and the Syncros and Hope and Fir impes and, and and. All the receipts were hidden under the floorboards and are possibly still. 5 year later and before RETRO BIKE I committed the cardinal sin, 737 and 8 speed, V brakes and maybe the worst of all had the rear triangle Chromed. It looks great , maybe not Wright but it never was a standard build anyway. Still have,ride and love it . PS did 28 hundred + the 737 later, what do they say 1 =live it, still

Thanks for posting the photo up stu,i always remember seeing this bike when i was 13 and how much i wanted one and been looking for ages for a frame esp an early one with the black rear triangle and yellow decals opened the box today and even though am now 32 i felt 13 again(for a second!) grinning from ear to ear,ha ha.
I really want to do this build well,i got the frame from the us(abt £150) with out the shock but i had to get it!! got the shock for £40,the mag 21's were about the same £40/45 i know it should be mag 20's but there near impossible to find.
Was thinking of m900 xtr i think that was correct for this bike when it was launched.
