Wanted to try these Avid levers. Combined parts from two different pairs.

Marzocchi XC500 / XC700 would be sublime (looks wise) with the DBR Axis TT.

Liking this thread a lot, from a fellow eternal tinkerer.

Re: 1995 DBR Axis Team Titanium -> Back to retro spec on page 9!

Thanks, Woz!

I know I know, those forks looked really good about three years ago when I had them.
But then about a year and a half later:

The Marzocchi started leaking so it’s back to a rigid fork.

The rear tyre rubbed against the insides of the chainstays when pedaling heavily. So I decided to get rid of 224 pieces of side knobs.

With side cutters it was easy job, the rubber compound is really soft. Rubbing went from annoying to bearable.
