They "say patience is a virtue", but having spend the last seven years on this I think there's a limit! Ladies and Gentlemen if you've not seen it before, here's Swede's 1994 Funk Force GS...

Some of you will have already seen the frame over the years but not with a fork from the same manufacturer. I should like to thank Ant and Felix for being willing the part with these items but I did make a nuisance of myself to get them! It's took four years and ten months to persuade Ant to...

That Merlin is just perfect plus the Boulder too.

Drooooool, I love that Merlin with its titanium cassette & Goldtec chainring the whole bike looks perfect I also like the Funk with its high end and rare parts the 91 GT is another personal favourite of mine & looks ace in that second picture But for me the Zinn is #1 he set out to build a piece of MTB history and executed it perfectly

@wtb_rider Well, Kay, that was definitely worth the wait!

Holy hell, what a bike!

Well, maybe one or two, lol. ; )

You guys have set a hell of a benchmark moving forward.
