What you building in 2008

GT road project

I'm restoring a GT Edge road bike made at GT's Tech Shop facility the first year they made road bikes in 1994. It's French Excell tubing and very light. I've got it in Epoxy primer right now and have original decals for it but haven't yet decided on a color and I'm still searching for an Excell tubing seat tube decal.

Got way too many frames sitting there waiting to be build - after hoarding them during 07!

The Moho is pretty much done now, just need to add some cabling

Next up is the red Pace RC200 - going for rigid build, Middleburn duos, Magura red racelines etc

After that the Specialized Carbon S-works - M900 build and other period kit

Then the Mountain Cycles San Andreas - need to find some Pro-Stop discs for the rear.

And if I finish all of those the LTS and the 956 need some wheels and other bits as they are half finished builds at the moment!

Do I have too many bikes and too little time - definitely!

Will still be on the look out for a Vit T, Fat Chance Ti, or Hei Hei and a Dave Yates DONKIS KNOB
 
A strip and respray on a FW Evans Touring bike. not sure currently a mix of XT,DX and lX, Thinking I might go campy on this one already got the Onza Ho's for the the stopping.

A Kirk e-stay may be a single speed or a fixed.
 
Trying to finish my 1996 KLEIN Attitude at least and keep this one.
Hopefully build me a 1992-1995 Attitude or Ardoit in the bautifull Horizon linear fade, Burgundy Blue or Storm colours.....:)

Most important and a little cheaper trying to build some more condition, so maybe go cycling a little more instead of just buying, selling and building.

At least trying to find out what will happen to the Zaskar, keep it or sell it.. :?
 
hopefully i will try and get my monster frame repaired and rebuilt but then i said i was going to rebuild my colt starion engine this year but i never got round to that ( ooow the joys of haveing a 2 yr old in the house to keep my bizzie)

I'm planning only one build next year (yeah, right!), the nostalgic Stumpjumper. After that it has to be one in, one out for space if not financial reasons (in honesty, both).

Also agree with Mr. K, need to do more riding and less fettling in 08 - is that my New Years Resolution?
 
My whishlist for 2008 includes a P21, an Ibis Mojo steel or titanium, and a titanium Bontrager as well (there´s one on ebay right now)...

Ok, a bit expensive wishlist, but 52 weeks it´s a lot of time, also...

Right now, just want to decide what to do with my new baby, the SoftTail, and finish the titanium Parkpre, the bike with more CNC´d parts i have...

Most important, was to ride a bit more...
 
Finish the Funk :roll:
Finish facelifting the Cannondale (nearly done :D )
A couple of minor 'tweaks' to my RC200


............and start my 2008 Rocky Mountain project 8)
