I know where you're coming from BITD I bought an ex demo Pace (still have it) and despite paying good iron for it I systematically set about replacing the Purple Anno ....as I hated it :roll:

Hi mate, sorry I didn't want to hijack your thread. Your's is a stunning build
I have considered going to icono-O with one or 2 of my collection (thankyou for the nice comment
) but not sure they would be what people want to see :| I must confess, I did not build this one up, I took ownership of it from the original owner who bought the frame and built it up all brand new in 93'ish.
The only things I have done to it is change the bars and stem, pedals and a set of smoke/darts and some NOS ati fork boots.

It does yes, a very nice little touch I think.
I will confess, I owned Minor legend's badly faded anno red one for a year or so but didn't do anything with it, another member has it now, though im tempted to get it back....
I will pop a thread up on it if you guys want to see more of it?

Re:
Small post Mountain Mayhem update,
The old girl did me proud, okay were we part of a 10 man team so only got a couple of laps in on it, but boy were they great ones…had me grinning from ear to ear.
Like a lot of the other retro rigs it got a lot of looks and comments, especially when sat in the transition area awaiting the handover, not sure if it was the rather subtle use of Purple, the M2 forks with approx. 25mm of travel, Canti brakes and snowflakes at both ends or all of the above and the fact no one else was running 26 inch rims
Ready for battle and still shinny
Waiting in the transition area
Hate this photo but it’s the only one I have of it on the course
Post ride (lap 1) Despite previous years being muddy as hell this year was another dry(ish) one
gotta lot of polishing to do before it goes to Icon-O-Classic in a few weeks

Re:
and for the doubting Thomas's ....of which Mr Legend is only one of dozens
I forgot to mention the rear snowflake is still going strong, perhaps its more to do with my
fortunate choice of a Pulstar hub and straight pull spokes or perhaps I was just got lucky again and one day it will collapse on me
either way its ready to roll for another outing, more than can be said for the Manitou

Re:
I think it's fair to say, of the early 90's alloy hand built frames, the uk got it right.
20 years later and they are easily as able to withstand a bit of punishment as they were BITD.
Unfortunately the same can't be said for more expensive frames from the same period (as we both know from bitter experience)
I gave my Ozone a spanking on the beach with the father in law a couple weeks back, a bit of clean and oil, good as new :-D
(Yes, I need more sun on my legs....)

Ozone CO2
Yin and Yang when 4291 met 31191 and Yes the front tyre on the silver one is the wrong way round :facepalm: (easily sorted by turning the whole lot around)
but first off spot Shaun
