New project suggestions

[elPedro666]

It seems my British build Dyna-Tech has bitten the dust after many many months of (very intermittently) struggling to sort out a seized BB, it looks like the frame is cracked anyway :cry:

So I have a load of DX (1990-92ish) and red X-Lite (and Middleburn) parts, some USE rigid forks (probably), or some 1" Amp F3s to find a home for.

Budget is severely limited I'm afraid.

I could find another MT4 and continue as planned.
I could find a Bonty RaceLite (maybe!) and use the AMP forks (I kinda think they'd work together), but would the X-Lite be weird?
I could find something else altogether that suits the parts & era.
I could mothball the DX (or put it on the Kona frame that's sitting here) and do something mid/late nineties with some m950 XTR I just happen to have spare...
AMP forks do lend themselves to an AMP frame of course...

I don't have space for both at the moment though ... unless someone buys my dad's lovely Cadex!

Thoughts please folks!

what size frame? I have a large ti framed M-trax not doing much.

 

[elPedro666]

Ta for the offer, but I think I'd need medium - 5'9ish with short legs 17" Konas are fun but a bit cramped, not tried an 18" but I assume that's me...

Usually about 18" c-t, 22 to 23" effective depending on the retroness.

Not sure I've a great love for M-Trax, although I'm not sure why :? A Torus would be tempting but out of budget, something of spindly, bendy steel could work too, a wishbone Kili maybe but I think too late for the short-travel forks and DX :?

Early nineties ParkPre?

Or flog it all and search for an 80s semi-klunker!

i have just the thing for you peter

Retro BSO's they are the future

 

[elPedro666]

Is that a Mantra...? :twisted:

They may be a future, but they ain't my future thanks very much! Did the scrap men refuse to take that one...?

No Konas thank you, especially not big ones! I've got that 18" TBG 'Dome to sort out anyway...


Charlie, I'm working tomorrow and then have no idea, so yeah, lets go somewhere! I need miles before Mayhem desperately...


I'm scared to ask about the Klunker :shock:
