Look what the cat dragged in..

I had i green version as my first downhill bike in 1997. But eith DH3 and sachs discbrake front brake.
That was a really good bike until i got my hands on a Intense M1.

Crank need clearcoat stripping and polishing, new decals.

Wheels were worn out, had to try on the spinergy’s.

Think ill just leve those on? But need vintage tires.

nice story and renovation

I wasn't aware that there was also a DBS version of that bike, but Verlicchi did really a good job, Sintesi, Ironhorse, Rudy Project, Kona, Saracen, Bogner, Stevens, Biria, maybe even a few more, all put their stickers on this bike.
Dave Cullinan won the first downhill championships 1993 with that ride.

Even if yours wasn't very tidy, according to your pictures above, - thanks good it looks like there was no damage below the dirt -,
just wanted to share this pic from one of the race 1993 I've found in a mountain bike magazine.

Thanks for your reply and pictures!


Yes DBS did in different colors as well.

There is a small point on the headtube on mine that has some damage but not critical.
