Intense M1 identification

Beauty! The black stantions on the Boxxer really make a difference to the overall aesthetic.

Holy shizzle sticks, that's my old bike!!!

Right, now that I've stopped laughing/reminiscing! This was from one of the first batches in the UK via Chris P. The chainstays were factory replaced with the more substantial version after about 3 months or so, the narrow chainstays were prone to cracking. Great frame but the mk 2 was even better.

What do you mean it was your old bike? Did the frame i have, belong to you before?

I included the photo in my post, it's the yellow one with White Bros forks.

How do you know that bike is the same as mine?

Have a feeling we're getting a lost in translation here.

I merely said that the yellow one was mine and was surprised it was posted by someone else but such is the internet.

If you go to my post above I included the same photograph of my old M1. It is the yellow frame with 3" Gazzaloddi tyres, a 'Mojo' sticker instead of the M1 logo on it, it has the grey SDG Big Boy saddle, White Bros forks and red Ringle stem. That was my old bike and I took that photograph in the 90's.

I get that,its just that you started of by saying..holy shit thats my old bike "...
To me that sounded like it was the exact same bike,,,but you just meant it reminded you of your old bike

I'm pretty sure mine is a '96 . Bought it new and was built for me at luraceas world of wheels in keizer oregon.
Not even had the rear disc brake mount yet.
Never had a part changed since I raced it from 97-2001
Needs a new front fork and wheel . The marrizoki fork is blown.
MRP chainstay,race face cranks, magura rear brake, hope front disc

I wouldn't change that fork, it's such an awesome period part. From memory they just screwed extensions into things to make them from stock Z1 parts so it should be possible to repair them. Speak to @Dr-Zocchi unless someone else comes out with some helpful info first.
