Sorry I don't think I do. . . .

Re: Good memories. . . Miss him every day. Cannot believe its almost been 21 years since I last saw him.

Thanks for a good memories reminder. . . Jake as a junior finished 2nd that day in the Pro Class behind Wayne Croasdale. I really need to get going on that bike and get it restored. Been too long sitting and waiting.

Congrats Haalands! Well done and very cool bike. . .

Jake's family here anxiously awaiting. . . very exciting to see which bike will win. All of these bikes are so cool in their own respects and a great job done by all the builders! Thank you to everyone who supported Jake and his race bike for BOTY. One more photo worth sharing - me dropping...

Re: Foxb13 - would love to hear what you are working on. . . any clues?

Thank you everyone for your comments and support. It certainly was a fun build to bring back to life. I am guessing most of you know that Jake's bike won Bike of the Month for December 2019 and now they are holding voting for Bike of the Year 2019. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=406718&hilit=boty All...

Thanks Regan. . . never thought of submitting it but thought it would be fun for everyone to read. Still have a few more of his bikes to submit. . .

WimVDD - thank you for your kind words. It is all bitter sweet and there are still sad days when we simply want to hear his voice or laugh. We always say that Jake left all of us different gifts and that those are the treasures we all hold onto. We will see Jake's smile again and thanks to...

I loved those Marin bikes. I found a couple myself online but I don't want a replica Jake's bike, just the real thing if it's still out there. Wouldn't be hard to identify, it may be the only size 21" downhill mountain bike around. ;) On the photo above - yes that was 1997 from Mammoth...

Re: Sadly, I don't know where that bike is. I remember Jake had the rear end mags on his garage wall after he passed away. I cannot remember what happened to them. A lot of things disappeared after his "friends" came through the house. Is what it is. . .

Thanksgiving weekend of 2016, I was contacted by my brother’s long time friend Chuck, who said he had Jake’s 1992 San Andreas and wanted to know if I was interested. “Absolutely” I said. It was explained that the bike was not in great shape and nothing like it was originally. For Jake, after...

Re: The prostops worked great. . . .25 years later. They did get hot after my Kamikaze runs. I think someone who knows the brakes well could dial them in perfectly.

Working on a build thread for it. . . will try to get it posted in the next day or so. Thanks everyone for the complements. It was a fun project to do. Good memories of my brother.

Re: Bike of the Month December 2019 Submission Hey guys, with the help of so many, including Bas Hoeve, I was able to complete Earthquake Jake's 1992 Mountain Cycle San Andreas. In his first year as a pro on the NORBA circuit, he was given Rookie of the Year accolades. in 2017, I was also...

Flite Saddle is the big item . . . found a few on Ebay I am researching year on.

hey everyone, just wanted to share the following rebuild project. This is Jake's 1992 mountain cycle that was given to us in a Frankenstein fashion with a mix of parts from 1994 Judy DH forks, 1995 Ringle wheels, esp 900 shifters. . . it was in bad shape. With the help of a friend from...
