1999 Azonic DS1

I've had most of the bits on this lying around for ages and finally decided to do something with them.

Oooh I like that! Looks great with the Mozo's up front

Thats nice! I used to have a chrome one and wish I never sold it. Was a nice little frame.

Know of a cheap one here in NZ for sale but the rear dropout has been modified to suit a BMX hub I think

Thanks for the comments people, took it for a little spin yesterday and it's a cool little bike, the Mozos are better than expected, they are cobbled together from a set of 80mm Mozo Pros with the machined crown, steerer and pushrods from a 100mm Mozo XL and a Z2 Bomber spring/original elastomer combo inside, very smooth and the air damping actually does enough to stop it feeling like a pogo stick!
Michelin DH24s, without a doubt, on hardpack/tarmac, definitely the slowest rolling rubber I've ever used! You get about 3 turns of the wheels after you stop pedalling before coming to a halt however fast you're going! Probably great for actual DH (I guess the clue's in the name ) I've got some unused Tioga Fat 66 Factory DH lurking about, that are more than likely just as slow as the Michelin or some Bonty DJ tyres that I can try.I will dabble with singlespeed because I can and have the bits already! I would also like a 50mm version of the same stem if anyone has one for sale please.

Different tyres and single speed.

That's awesome!

Been messing around with this again recently with the saddle up to the limit line it's great for zipping about. I will refit gears at some point very soon, singlespeed always seems like a good idea but every time it gets boring very quickly!

Looks great, I still love the turn of the millennia jump bikes.
