seen these posted up on craigslist for US$80.. worth it? should I offer less?

Re: 1995 DBR Axis Team Titanium *COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED (PAG super clean build.. how much does it weigh?

that's surprising, though encouraging!

did you still use the Suntour RD and shifters? The suntour shifters don't have a true friction mode.. they have a switch but there is still a bit of a click on the accushift locations the rear hub is nice it's a shame it's not compatible with anything

it is indeed an 8 speed.. i'll shoot you a PM if i determine i need a new cassette :)

*finally*.. after being put on the back burner over and over, I got this thing built up! Exactly 24 lbs as pictured I took it for a spin off road and it performed really well. I put on some nice folding tires with knobbies I had laying around and I didnt notice any significant difference...

Re: Titanium dillemma.. which to choose!? Update: picked AXI to the parts bin then!

Re: Titanium dillemma.. which to choose!? Update: picked AXI i guess it was the less common 1-1/8 threaded headset.. no matter.. now it's not :lol: i kinda want to polish the frame.. but i also want to get started building it!

Re: Titanium dillemma.. which to choose!? Update: picked AXI i didnt know it was possible to convert from threaded to threadless but makes sense :) i'm certainly not complaining as threadless is lighter

Re: 1995 DBR Axis Team Titanium *CHANGE OF PLAN (PAGE 4)* wow an Axis TT fixie conversion! ;) interested to see how it turns out and find out how it rides!

Re: Titanium dillemma.. which to choose!? Update: picked AXI for some reason i thought the 93 came with a threaded headset..

Re: Titanium dillemma.. which to choose!? thanks, I'm going to be looking into the rivnut thing.. seems like less than a $20 fix so I'm not too worried about it. and yeah the carbon fork i'm on the fence about.. there's a guy locally with a tange prestige fork that I want to pick up, but not...

Re: Titanium dillemma.. which to choose!? from some quick googling, it sounds like putting in a new boss is pretty trivial using something called a "rivnut". On youtube there's a video of a guy installing bosses on a steel bike using a rivnut and a hand tool so it can't be too hard. On the...

Re: Titanium dillemma.. which to choose!? Got it home tonight :) Everything looks good though one bottle cage boss is missing (apparently not uncommon with Ti frame) Seller "forgot" about it until after I bought the frame and removed the electrical tape covering the bosses right in front of...

yep the steel clamps of the deore models can be bent out a little bit. you can actually get away with the original bolts but you will need longer ones to bend the clamps back into shape first it's an easy way to pull off the conversion but i admit if you ride in the drops a lot they're not in...

I like drop bar mtbs.. a lot. 1989 Jamis Dakar 1988 Univega Alpina Pro I built my girlfriend's 1989 Stumpjumper Comp with drop bars as well, but I don't have a pic

Re: Titanium dillemma.. which to choose!? I'm set to pick up the DBR tomorrow.. and turns out the fully built bike was sold tonight so i guess the DBR and I were meant to be together in the first place :D

Re: Titanium dillemma.. which to choose!? ^ that thought had entered my mind tbh..

Re: Titanium dillemma.. which to choose!? the guy accepted my offer.... oh yes it will be mine 8)

Re: Titanium dillemma.. which to choose!? thanks guys.. I just made an offer on the Axis TT :) I wasn't sure if my emotional connection to Diamondback was clouding my judgement but it sounds like I should definitely go with the DBR!
