These are rare pieces these days! They had the unique and simple bolt-on guide bushings on the seat tube for the seatstay to slide under shock compression

It’s already disappeared from there and couldn’t find it anymore even as sold item, but someone in the facebook vintage dh forum took this screen capture of it before

I saw it on facebook vintage downhill forum also, not many NOS M1s around anymore, but still the price was just bonkers! And I seriously thought that it would never sell.. I’ve paid less of all my over 15 retro DH frames together 😄

I have some nice possibilities, but as everything is still open concerning the fork, don’t want to jinx anything! Nevertheless the fork is definitely the most challenging part of any Palmer M1 replica as there are maybe a dozen of those proto Boxxers left, travelwise a Boxxer Pro would be the...

Hello! Last spring I found a cheap 1998 Intense M1 frame here in Finland, and got it without yet knowing what kind of project I should turn it into. Then after some time I had a flashback to one of the most iconic bikes to me which I remember first seeing in Chainsmoke movie ridden by Palmer -...

I’ll send you a PM with the details 👍🏻

This would’ve been too new there and anyways the pre -97 side kind of prefers bikes that you can also pedal uphills 😄

Last parts received and bike built!

Not much missing anymore! Took some time to find a square axle BB for 100mm BB shell and 135mm rear end, but found one and waiting for it to arrive in post. Just hoping it will provide a reasonable chainline for this so I can get it built up!

It’s simple, functional and perfectly anti-flashy 😄

Here's the finished result! Last weekend put the brakes together from bits, adjusted everything and got this finally ready 🥳

The Tomac with the Hopes is not a picture of mine, but of DaveyBoyWonders old one 🙂 Mr. Tomac used 1st gen Magura Gustavs on his race version and I have those also waiting for this. Although his were with the special Tomac edition red color, but were probably only some limited team version so I...

Jamie Lynn at Mountain Mania Cycles did a repro batch of those orange MRP rollers so contact him and you’re all set! I was actually just today working on my M1 with some small issues, still need to build the brakes from bits but other than that I’m almost done. Yours will look awesome 💎

Again nostalgic backgrounds with this restoration also 😄 I saw it first time in the cover of our Finnish bike magazine in 1998 and thought that it's the nicest looking bike I've ever seen. And still do! Fast forward to last Spring when I saw one frame for sale in Portugal, only thing was...

Not yet unfortunately. I got the custom shock bushings for it already, and next I'd have to build up the Saint brakes which are in pieces. I've just been working on an even cooler DH restoration project on my rare free time, so this one will have to wait for next year to be finished. I'll post...

That probably explains why the linkage was flipped on this when I got it 🎯

It might be easier to find a pair of Doubletracks and to change the decals on them. All of the Mags are with welded joints and from what I’ve understood Doubletracks are either pinned or welded, and the welded versions of them are totally identical with just a different decal set. Hope you find...

Hello again! Got a first mockup done with another long time project of mine so I thought I shared the story behind it at the same time. A little over two years ago my friend here in Finland offered me a beaten M1 with no shock for a very cheap price, and naturally when I saw it I knew I had to...

Nice story with the Lobo! And great component spec on it 😎 That is definitely a bike worth keeping as long as you can!

Hi there! And thanks! Mine has a Sachs Quarz disc hub in the rear which I believe is the original one. I don’t have a photo in my phone currently, but it’s a normal 135mm qr hub with 6 bolt disc holes in it. I found a few photos of these online though, hope this helps!
