Hello all,
First build thread I’m sharing here. What a great site. I became a member after I started this project, I wish I had some earlier photos. Started this project a year ago, found the frame and original marzocchi fork on bikelist.com, kind of a random site. I stripped the paint, was probably not the best idea. The paint was in decent shape but I was more attracted to the frame itself than the whole paint scheme of these 2002 bikes. In my opinion, there is something so bad*ss about a lightweight, fast rigid, rim brake 29er. This bike will be ridden- long or lightweight overnight rides on fire roads and trails in Northern California. I want to ride it so bad and now I’m kicking myself that I have to sort out the paint. Thinking of going late 90’s Gary fisher direction for the paint/decals. Will post more parts that I currently have for the build soon.
Parts below:
-Large Gary fisher supercaliber 29
-Kona p2 29er fork- v brake posts only!!
-Thomson post, nos wtb pure v saddle, ti rails
-Pewter CK HF classic hubs to velocity cliffhangers.
-Ultradynamico mars tubeless setup
-Xtr 11-34 9spd cassette
-70mm Thomson stem, specialized wide boy 645mm bars
-Microshift thumbies
-late 90’s paul love levers
I want to paint/powder coat it black. Let me know what you think! Can’t wait for this thing to come together.
