Dami's 1995/96 Dagger FS built into early DH spec: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1996-dagger-fs-early-dh-project.484195/

Got the bike finished and tested on the local paths last weekend. This is definitely one of the most fun bikes I own, was a blast to throw it around! As the goal was to build an mid 90's DH weapon I naturally didn't aim to make it light in anyway, but eventually it turned out weighing only 12kg...

Thanks man 🙌 I actually ran into this previously trying to find ideas about the build, but had forgotten about it!

Another acquisition moving forwards from the depths of my workshop.. This one I got two years ago for about 20€ or so, and it had been waiting for me to tackle the issues it had. It's a 95/96 Dagger FS frame with the AMP MacPherson strut rear end, but the previous owner, an AMP collector here in...

Unfortunately not much. I’ve been taking it easy during the Summer concerning any restoration jobs, because here in Finland the Summer is veeery short, and I know that I’ll have a lot of wet, cold and dark evenings ahead of me to continue the project during Autumm 😅 I managed to find the brake...

Hi! Selling an unused Shimano XTR HP-902 threaded headset in its original box. This one is meant for 1 1/4” head tubes. Price is 80€ plus postages. Postage costs to most European countries are around 20€. To US and Australia the postages unfortunately kind of kills the deal being around 45€...

The frame was already originally ball burnished by GT, it just had gotten a bit oxidized from the surface. So only thing I had to do was go through the frame with some old cotton socks, aluminium autosol and hurting fingers!

Hello again! About four years ago I found a GT LTS DH frame from Germany and it was sitting a long time in my workshop waiting for the right kind of inspiration on how I should build it up. For me the 1st gen 'boomerang LTS DHs with the single seat tube curve , and these 2nd gen ones with the...

This is an awesome build! 🙌 I'd recommend going through the surface of the Kujo with a heat gun so that the white 'powder' would disappear inside the rubber compound again. Or if you're hardcore you can always use the classic oven bake 😄

There were a few interesting details with this one. One was the bolts on the bottom of the legs which are some pentalobe style special pieces. I know that also Apple uses similar ones on their products to prevent people doing service on their devices by themselves so these are probably some...

The fork issue is now solved also, couple of days ago visited a friend for a trade and came back with this one! It's one of the legendary Rockshox Boxxer prototypes from 1997. On Palmer's bike there was the first version of the prototypes that had black stanchions, but this is as close as I can...

Here's my 1991 Bear Valley and Palisades Trail!

Thank you! Exactly like this and I think I wrote about the difficulty of finding a whole STM to the original post also 😅 But yes, Roox was, and still is, a temporary solution and maybe sometime I’ll find the proper STM for this! I actually have one STM which is identical to the one Vouilloz was...

I guarantee my workshop has a lot more old bikes, parts and junk than Velogi's one 😂 I've though had over 25 years of time to amass all the tools and everything, just managed to get everything nicely sorted out and rearranged the workshop maybe three years ago

Frame restoration done! Shock links and seat collar polished, bearings replaced, and everything put back together.

Respect for that! There would’ve been a few hundred easier languages to pick from also 😄

Here's a little update on the project! Frame is now painted and yesterday attached the decals on it. I was too excited to wait as this is always one of the best parts of projects for me :LOL: The foil based decals (Palmer and INTENSE) came out really nice thanks to my local decal guy, and...

How about ODI Attack grips? They were around back then, used/promoted by mr. Tomac for example, and are still available.
