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... :oops:
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! :wink:

Thoughts please folks! :wink:

what size frame? I have a large ti framed M-trax not doing much.
 
Ta for the offer, but I think I'd need medium - 5'9ish with short legs :wink: 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? 8)

What about a 97 cindy in blue 19" c to top,

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


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


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