99 GT xcr 1000 build

[retrocomeback]

I know these original I-Drives are prone to the seat tube cracking but like yourself I'd happily take a punt at building one up, the ride really is one of the best 'old' full sussers in my humble opinion. I look forward to seeing this build progress

Thanks! Yeah to be honest I've heard lots of good reviews about the idrive so cant wait till this one is finished to get a ride out on it.

Cheers Josh but its not the idrive bits that I need, the idrive unit is spot on, its the main pivot bearings etc I need but as I said betd got them in. Oh and dad is taking the cracked frame to work this week to get it welded

Ahh yeah needle bearings isnt it? Just go to a bearing supplier for them?

 

[trxrincon]

Yeah sure is, I need bushes too so just gonna get them from betd

 

[cyfa2809]

Cost you an arm and a leg though!

 

[trxrincon]

£35 for bearings and bushes
