Was a great day hanging out with you at the bike farm here on fantasy Island 🏝️ 😂

Happy New Year 2025 to everyone here and may this be your best Retro Mountain Bike year yet!! Best wishes Jim

A most kind and gracious post, thank you so much! My head Hamster 🐹 is on the move lol Happy new year 🥳 Jim

Good question can’t recall what we decided on will let you know

Thank you Canuck Biker I do appreciate your ideas! I’m going to look at a few other builds and try to get a feel of what I like. I’m leaning towards the bullmoose DK bars too!

So I have 2 choices for stems, thinking about going with the DK stem wondering what would be a good choice for bars? Thoughts… Thx

lol good try, it’s not for sale. 😂

Morning Matti, I agree with your critical thinking and would like to add that this build was given the go ahead by the original owner of the company 🙏

Yes, thinking about all black build and trying to find period correct nos parts, or is any of those 90s companies are still around making quality old school parts will see…thx for asking

Hey Roy, thx for your suggestion, I agree black components would be a nice touch. I recently picked up some NOS early XRT parts, but like Paul’s brakes and IRD too

Oh luckily Chris had a bunch of his original NOS parts still that he used for the build ❤️

I really don’t see it like that but each to their own..honestly who cares if the shoe cobbler makes a particular style of shoe again in the 80s..and then again in the 90s…and then one last time in the 2000’s? It’s the shoe makers shoe…can't get any more original than that 🙏

Good call always a fan fave!!!

Sure thx 🙏 but nothing tribute here. It’s just another toad 🐸 off the froggy assembly line 😝 that happens to be the last one ever made 30 years later.
