Cheers Al. It was a great bike in its day. I'm going to get it out in the next month or so which'll be an interesting experience I'm sure. The rear end was always pretty good, if the front end was about 4" longer and the head angle several degrees slacker to match modern geo, I suspect it would...

Cheers. If my mate stops playing around with World Cup racers telemetry and actually sorts the forks out for me (I can't think why I'd be second on that lit) I might even get it finished and ridden this year, and maybe a race in. I haven't raced DH (or even ridden it in anger) since 2013 so that...

That looks familiar but rather annoyingly I can't work out where it is, any hints?

I think those of us with a work ethic might like to disagree with that rather sweeping and chippy shouldered generalisation! It does seem on this forum that there is sometimes this undercurrent of 'my way is the only way', and a lack of understanding that forms of riding bikes can exist other...

It’s quirky, it’s a little ugly, and it’s awesome! It makes me think of things like the Alfa SZ and such where it’s not what you’d traditionally pretty, but it is very cool. It’s an awesome build, congrats for pulling the trigger and doing something so odd and out there, it’s a truly unique bit...

BETD used to make/source pretty much everything you needed to rebuild these. They still have most of it listed on their site.

I’ll take them from you - want to PM me with your PayPal details?

That thing looks in stunning condition, I always loved the look of these.

Of all the 30+ bikes I've owned over the years and hundreds, or probably thousands, I've ridden, only two have been Konas. One was my mate's first generation Stab Deluxe with kinky downtube and stupidly steep head angle, and the other was one of Fabien's World Cup bikes. And yet I still consider...

Hey, don't be embarrassed about it, I'd suggest the post gets moved into general chat and more people will be aware of these things. I was looking for a converter for a rear 12mm hub to use on my Trek as the original Bulb axles are NLA and it was through all the years of having used the...

Lots of these spacers on eBay are things that yes, are spacers, but are of zero use. I've seen a few others in combinations that simply won't ever work. QR adaptors for a 20mm hub are one of them, as a 150mm x12mm QR reducer which was another one I saw. Basically they've been designed by someone...

Well I had some time today as I needed to catch up on sleep and so didn't have too much planned, so to avoid wasting the day I decided to throw some parts on this as I worked out I pretty much had everything I needed. The forks are junk. Good looking junk, but junk nonetheless. No seals, no oil...

That's an amazing resource for manuals, good effort!

Looks like it'll be a stunning build! Love the Lobo too, it's amazing to see one of them that hasn't got bent linkage plates. I think the 'it doesn't say anything' might not be totally true, but I'd say it's true it certainly doesn't match the later format. Of course this was the fun old days...

It's been nostalgic for me going through the pics too. Lots of good memories, and a lot of Scotland explored. Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm guessing they're replica given the printed head tube badge? Who did you get them from? I used an '03 set like that on an old helmet once, and then when I polished the M1 used the later '03 yellow graphics as by then the '02's were NLA. I'd like a genuine set of the '02's but they're pretty...

Adding a few relevant pics taken from the '98 and '03 Intense brochures which I'd posted in another thread. '98 Tazer HT with horizontal plate rear dropouts '03 Tazer HT '03 Tazer FS

The predominantly iterative upgrades that Intense rolled out in the past, and the fact they were a pretty small company, means that most things are compatible across a number of product years. I've even seen an FSR back end grafted onto the original M1 SL, and Tahnee Seagrave at one point had a...

If you've still got this is there any chance you could stick the verniers on it to double check the exact size for me? I've bought two posts recently that were supposed to be 26.8mm and both are 26.9mm, annoyingly! And as 26.8mm seat post reamers are like rocking horse shit it seems trying to...

No probs. Oh, and the OD of the step on the hub side for bearing preload is 19mm
