‘What’s that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? Is it a monster?’

Haha....Couldn’t resist...

Re:

3onner's 1991 Alpinestars Al-Mega DX

Built this up from nothing but a frame.
No build thread yet to share....but really fun finding the parts, especially the forks + steerer.

Could have easily started to paint parts I found to match and de anodise bits considered to be the 'wrong colour' but as I started to build it I have gone for the 'built as found' approach...keeping all parts as original as possible.

Neat touches on this are the cable guide adaptors (the paint in the cable guides needing a little sanding for a neat fit) and the original pearlesant white cable outers to match the frame paint.....its the small things......

Wicked looking! Damn shame there’s no build thread to show the Subtle work you described - and kudos for all original and uNtouched with subtle work
