I just came across this old pic (I scanned the print, sorry for the lack of quality) of my old pride & joy. I really miss this bike but I don't think i'll bother trying to replicate it. It was too maintenance hungry & too fragile.
* The bushes had to be replaced every 3 Months
* I had to rebuild the rear shock every 3-6 Months
* I bent 3 sets of the Control tech Ti bars before the wholesaler refused to replace any more & gave me my money back!
* The Maguras crushed the Araya rims.
* The seat tube eventually bent like a banana
