Re:

Mine is strictly on the road these days, I have a lightweight modern 5 inch travel disc brake dirt bike that I love, and ride exclusively in the dirt

That might be the nicest bike Ive ever seen on Retro! Great epic work!

Re:

:shock: Hey thanks fella's , kind words indeed, funnily enough I had this out for a spin today , those eagle eye'd amongst you will notice a couple of small changes, and use of non matching parts

Since completing this build , ..I'd only had the opportunity to ride this baby a total of three times prior to front Ringle NOS hub failure , after which I'd :twisted: ....'popped' this away in a corner, like a naughty little boy :roll: , all back of the bus like, :|

Anyway today at 10.36 GMT the moon and another planet somewhere, aligned with Jupiter and the canary islands ... or was that china ! ? :shock: ... and it was time to get my Funk on!...










































Thanks once again and hope you like the pics

Re:

A Stem change/tryout is underway with this beautiful ITM Titanium stem.



As the bike goes that fast, a brake upgrade was required, S.E Pederson deign brakes now stopping the two round spinny things, I may return to the Ritchey logics when the trails get a little dryer



Big ol Shimano wires pulling the anchors..



Handlebar change, more for width and colour than anything else, these bars , I've no idea of the branding, the logo went awol, they have a nicer sweep than the True Temper they replace, their also sub 130grams




as she stands currently..





Your thoughts, spear throwing and comments as always are welcomed
