    Yeah, but it's a BMW

    LOL, I have the same thought about that but the fork does get more slack as the travel progresses. It's a 97 or so frame design so slack isn't in then.

    Yeah, but it's a BMW

    Got this in a trade for a Voodoo Canzo I had listed on CL for some time. Not really a full suspension collector but have a few in there. Was really surprised at how the suspension is active, drop the front end and it does not bounce back, rear is not as good but is better than most I have tried...

    93 Zaskar in the shop

    I did try and success on the right side but the left side seat stay cracked at the bridge near the weld. Seemed pushing the right side was going into the weld so not too much stress, left side did not like the small amount of pressure and gave up. Was only about 6mm off. Note to self: don't try...

    93 Zaskar in the shop

    So, dumb me forgot that this frame was bent at the seat/chainstays so I replaced the frame with the one that is wearing the yellow stickers. This is how this frame looked when I got it, notice the cable guide under the top tube. I didn't know it was bent until I was installing the rear wheel and...

    93 Zaskar in the shop

    These are what were on it when I got the bike. I don't think there was a seat tube sticker.

    93 Zaskar in the shop

    I did get this one finished about 9 months ago. I forgot to update with pics so here you go. Went with a yellow set of decals to match some of the stickers on other parts. Sold it to a GT collector up in NORCAL near Oregon.

    1995 GT Karakoram

    This was one of two bikes I received in a trade for one of my bikes. I assume it's a 95 because the LX cranks are M563 and all of the other parts are LX as well and look like new, just a little dust here and there. The paint is quite heavy where the serial # is so cannot read, if a GT expert can...

    Sorted Chris King 1 1/8” Griplock for a nothreadset

    This guy is making many repop parts that work. Not original, a bit better design in all of his products. Maybe not for you but it's an option...

    1997 Humu or so?

    Tires are now installed on the rims, not 100% happy with the rear wheel but will be a placeholder until I find a match for the front. Went with the Kenda BMX style due to the dark sidewalls, others were too bright and these have a nice tread to them.

    1997 Humu or so?

    1997 Humu or so?

    Made a bit of progress the past few days. Went with Thomson post, 70mm stem and have a Thomson seatpost clamp coming along with a set of black BMX 26" wheels. Opted for the XTR V-brakes because they are the only darker ones I have, silver would not fit the build as I want it to match my local...

    Profile Al cranks?

    Here is a set I have on a Mongoose Amplifier. I saved these for years until the right bike came along. Now I have an Amp B3 so might be swapping all of the parts over to it and sell the Mongoose. Not sure what's up with the chain not engaging, will need to get the bike down and look into that.

    1997 Humu or so?

    Have had this one on the back burner for a while and decided to see what it was about. Only owned a few SS style bikes, well maybe I have had more but forgot, so I'm starting a Kona Humu build with all MTB parts. After searches on the web I found that most are geared towards BMX which I have no...

    84 Fat Chance box crown

    I forgot about the jewelry that was attached to the seatpost when I got the bike, was painted black but stripped today and reinstalled. So chrome does have it's place among higher end vintage bikes.

    Just a reminder

    Agree with both of you. I don't think I can move that bigger than normal bike for long distances and yes, suspension does set the front higher. I was only trying to make a point of what had happened in 20 years after seeing the 2 bikes side by side and lets celebrate the early years. Check the...

    Just a reminder

    Remember when MTB's came on to the scene? I have a bunch of bikes and always working on something. When one bike was done with what I could do on it I set it next to the one I just worked on. I saw this and was really surprised at the differences in geometry. I hope we can all enjoy both worlds...
