sunn 5000 rigid

[mats16rcgti]

Hi,

Here is a new project with a sunn 5000 r size L

I got it in a swap with the same frame but in M

Here is the frame with dead stickers :



The rest of parts will come from this bike, mostly xt m739 parts and a nice dt hugi hub :





I start cleaning it, and match it with a sunn chaos :





Hope I will find nos xt canti brakes or xtr :roll:

Hi,

Merry christmas !

Here is an update of the 5000 now in xt and rigid as I found this 1" nos tange :



The goal is to make it my bike for next summer : no fork, no leak risk, it could stay to my wife's parents home in south of France (and my wife is happy to know that one bike leaves the house :roll: )

nice frame. Don't see many Sunn mtb's. Like the hubs too,

Hi titin,

Here in France you can find some sunn, but few fanatics buy all of them

Actually it is with xt hubs but you re right, dt hub are so nice

Next step will probably be deore lx m56- serie to go back canti as original.

I also bought the tange decal for the frame to go with the fork ones
