Almost New.
XMT 100 Metal Matrix Composite main tubes

You all need to format the posts for ease of collation. It includes a line such as:

THM’s 1989 Dyna 500gti

then your pictures. Make it use friendly when building the voting thread.

edit: and your making me twitch/tick.
 
Those two Decades are beautiful, those forks are amazing, why didn't that design take off?
The MK 2 was a lot more successful, but in the end (if spending a hell lot of money for a fork) it's a question of weight and performance.

Even Votec tried (to sell double crown rigid forks), but it's really hard to gind one (for an old Votec Tox frame).
 
@Volker could you remove one of your pics please (2 maximum), and add some pedals ;)
