Who needs friends when you have FOES

I recently picked this guy up. I actually got it for a pretty good deal in my opinion. So this is that start of my build. I would like some old school wheels like mavic d521s laced to some hope hubs or some spinergy or spin wheels. But for now I'll just have to live with it. I will need to tear it all the way down and clean all of the pivots out and so on. The original owner I bought this from raced it when it was new. He said it was like 1994-1996 or so. I'm going to see if he has any action photos or anything like that. Plus he may have some old school spares for the bike too. His kid started to ride the bike a little bit and trashed the brakes. But I'm sure I'll find something that will work on it. He also told me that he was a machinist and machined a titanium shaft for the fox alps on it. He said if he had more time he would have machined more parts for it but after that he had his kid.

So here ya go.

I will upload some more photos of the progress like I use to do. But here are some photos of it at least for now.

Foes are great bikes, really like their DH bikes.

Shame the pics have a big logo across them though :|

Yeah I just noticed that yesterday. My account with photo bucket has been ruined anyways so I might just get a different account on something else.
