I have a stem which fits the colour.So, the bike is really progressing little by little.
I hope the handlebars arrive soon, and I'll see if I can find a stem.
For the shifters, I'm looking to use Sram Halfpipes. At the time, Sram thought they'd be more comfortable for downhill riding. I don't know why, but that's what was being discussed.
Also, I plan to use another Sachs Quarz soon with its power grips. Back in '95 or '96, I was racing a Quarz with X-Ray shifters, and I remember it working very well (very hard).
I've also installed a quick-release seatpost. It's the first time I've ever used one, but it seemed more appropriate for a downhill-oriented bike (I know I'll have to trim the extra bolt).View attachment 996486
You're absolutely right.Don't use that shock boots. In reality this are great mud collectors. If they where constructed like on moto's, means real sealing against the outer, on top and in the bottom over the lowers, they where gold. But that simple ones are rubbish.
Water + mud will be collected straight into the boots, just over the seals. All new water will run the mud directly into the seals. Because of hydraulics seals will open a very little during compression/decompression, which leads to death.
I have seen such boots full of mud.![]()
Oops, maybe my family will decide to let me sleep outside the house with a blanket and 14 bicycles (or maybe more )I have a stem which fits the colour.
Ye i just read it i didnt actualy think bike builders did that especialy with such a distinct frame and the big brands doing it i though verlicchi would build it brand it as such and kona would be a kona
That's right!Quality very good job with decals and pink doent match perfectly but it looks right thats what matters i know what to do if i sell something now get you hook line sinker haha
It was logical.It was a time when downhill racing was moving into suspension, the Verlicchi was a good frame that worked and manufacturers didnt have their own at the time. The Intense M1 is another classic example, re-stickered and raced by many manufacturers as it was so good.
It is just about shipping costs and I'll add some Haribo for the family. May be we can trick them (it worked for others as well!Oops, maybe my family will decide to let me sleep outside the house with a blanket and 14 bicycles (or maybe more )![]()

Haribo is what really wins over my wife and my oldest son. The youngest is harder to fool, but his birthday is this month, and I have a surprise planned for him. A Harry Potter jersey for his bike.It is just about shipping costs and I'll add some Haribo for the family. May be we can trick them (it worked for others as well!)!?
I will make photos tomorrow.
