All the above is easy enough to source.. except the frame. In 13yrs on RB, I have never seen a mint one..

Basically the build Santa stuffed down the chimney that particular Christmas.. that for reasons I still can’t comprehend, I stripped down and sold off, just over a year later for an LTS.

Still have the LTS - and the guilt, today.

Had basically had that bike in 97, I've been looking for the frame ever since. I rode a 19". I've seen a couple but they were very tatty.

Yep, same. Tracking a Kula down is easier (must’ve sold more) and it’s the same frame.. but, has to be an AA..

I'd love one with Z1 Bam's. I had club roost riser bars and an early disc on the front. Surprising what a weight weenie I am now, back then I bought stuff that looked cool. That being said I don't think I've plusher and smoother forks than the Z1. The lefty was closest. I love the Kula dn Mini Mula.

Yep - Gen I Bombers were a game changer
