Re: Another one coming. Unicorn level Alpinestars...
How crazy is it that I was only talking to you about it not more than a fortnight ago?! It's truly uncanny. I've no idea how many of these ever existed or remain but it's got to be a low number! This one is perfect and my size and I'm still feeling a bit dreamy at the prospect of owning it. It's like the absolute ultimate want - the one that was wowed over in the brochures and magazines as a kid, the truly unobtanium, unaffordable, never-in-a-million-years bike!
I think my DX build was about 8 pages in before any work was done on it haha! Good things come to those who wait, and all that! :xmas-cool:
It's now en route from the USA and will hopefully clear customs and land within a fortnight. Cue huge duty and handling fees to come :evil:
Here it is, from the FS post. Looks amazing, can't wait to get the polishing mitt on it
And what a cool little chair you have to pull up on! (After this Ti-Mega is built I'm gonna chop up the scrapper Al Mega frame and do one like yours! Just need to find some longboard offroad wheels that aren't megabucks!longun":2nrwx975 said:
Thanks mate and I know you'll get yours soon enoughGruff":2nrwx975 said:Well done for getting your unicorn mate
I'm sure you'll do it justice.

I know Tony, it's crazy to think how my world and my outlook towards it have changed in the past year! All the better thanks to this place and this crazy passion, keeping me in tune with some of the best years of my life, and rediscovering a passion and meeting likeminded folk!Tc":2nrwx975 said:Jees Regan it wasn't even a year ago you joined with the one & only goal to build the one bike & ride it,

Re: Re:
I also thought the same to save the hassle and cost of stripping the A-M XTR and finding the T-M specific parts it'll need! I'm not starting anything until after Iconoclassic as I'm taking the AM XTR to that, as it deserves to be shown off. It'll then be stripped and may end up on the wall as a bare frame & fork itself! Best of both worlds!Tc":1f01eusy said:

Re:
Signing in as I am a A'star owner now too
A cracked Almega DX that is, but still some kind of unicorn, saw one when I was 16 in '91, riding my cheap Batavus.
Love to own a Ti once.
