In the middle of building mine. Has some Montana decal damage on mine from storage. No sure how it happened. They are so fragile the paint and that on these teams

Re: Re:
Sure enough the bars took some finding, and I just happened to spot them on a bike someone was breaking on here
Decals have held up quite well on mine, as has the paint if I'm honest.
It'll be good to see another built-up

Re:
Managed to complete the 'race spec' build from the Nat Champs of '93
Needed a few bits to complete the project; I've rebuilt the forks with fresh MCUs from johndeverill, and a steerer from robq88 (about 5mm longer than needed so I've added a spacer to the stack, so the front end is a little higher than needed - but suits me well now!).
Weight has gone up to just over 11.5kg / 25.4lbs

Awesome thread and story! All I’m left wondering who ye are now!?
Re:
Amazing thread!! I never tire of seeing another Montana Team, I also raced a 1993 Team, such a good frame. I loved it. Sold it stupidly in about 1997 I think and regretted it for 20 years. Finally got another frameset, sourced the XTR and had it resprayed at Fatcreations.

Re: Re:
Cheers dude
Got a few more pics - will upload when I get chance.
In fairness I’ll leave it built in race spec for now, though I'll take the Umma Gumma rear tyre off as I need that for another project. Oh and i suppose there’s no need to leave the number plate on either...
