1992 FUNK Combat Titanium - The elitist Elevated Unicorn Owners Club

[fguki]

Yeah something like that! From what the previous owner said, they must have been made very exclusively and for very few people only!

Which "doom" do you mean? I have heard at some point that FUNK basically collapsed because of too many complaints or claims. Is that true or some kind of fake news?

Super interesting! Funnily enough, I have one of those "shiny" plated suspension forks that caused all that downfall in my shop for months now. But its not mine - and I dont want it really. Although the guy wants to sell it.

Its just cool to see them first hand!

wow , every day is a school day as they say - had no idea a titanium funkeven existed.

a few alumnium frame versions have appeared on here in last fee seasons - including one with funk suspension forks , although not carbon IIRC.

will enjoy seeing build up process

re-quoting myself…just read that an amazing article - thanks for sharing - I ride Moots YBB / Eriksen … would love to know if the fabrication collaboration suggeseted in the article for La Ruta came to anything?

Brilliant biographical article - am quite astounded by the ultra retrobike cool knowledge here.
To make a minor contribution to the thread there was a pink painted FUNK used to feature in early 1990s MBUK articles every now and then!

I need to reread the article but the La Ruta is going strong;

Currently re-creating the frame decals for vinyl-cut. Easy job!

Really looking forward to seeing this build develop and hopefully there will be more backstory.

I assumed that the decals weren't original but they look the same as on Skide's i.e. not a coincidence?

Yes they were original. But since they were nothing special or other than simple and ordinary white vinyl cuts I decided to remove and replace them.
