figured it was about time i registered and showed you lot this . i realised a couple of days ago that i had inadvertently specced it as a late 90s jump bike 
but that was when i was having the most fun on mountain bikes , been riding since 94 but that was bmx , so at the end of the 90s when i got interested in mtb i took inspiration from the increasingly overbuilt bmx of the late 90s so i missed out on the lightweight purpleness but saw it out in the woods
but could never afford it 
so heres my mk1 dmr trailstar , distinguishable by its lack of aps canti mounts and its horizontal dropouts with english thread BB instead of the later option of either having the horizontals with american BB or vertical with threaded , although its not the first one they made which didnt have disc mounts
i had one of these back when but it wasnt as nice and i regretted selling it
funny really that ive put parts on it that i wouldave given the chance 10 years ago
the cable is too long
but thats because i pretty much changed the frame straight over and a few parts when my kona decided to drop its chain pedaling hard UP A HILL and break 3 of my fingers :roll:
but ive got a hope closed 2pot to go on the rear when ive built a better wheel
its painted in dulux finest vanilla cream but thats because i no longer have anywhere to spray things , and it lives in the house 
forks are 98 z1 bombers
rear v is a shimano m600 98 lx
stem is a steve peat signature xlite
azonic bars
hope mini front
mavic d521 with deore hub
profile seatclamp
98 dmr v8 dx style pedals ( before they made their own mould ) ive also got some v12
lx hollowtec2 but when the weather picks up ill put on my middleburns
its currently 44-16 ( always pushed a big gear ) giving 70.8 GI for those that care about such things
thats the mrs bike that also only has the one gear but im in the process of putting together a better one for her
