[Slowhand]

Hi again!

Bought this well used 2002(?) UZZI SLX.

Bearings are all shot, and the paint is flaking.

Full rebulid coming up!

I had an Uzzi back in 99/99 maybe? Not the SL the original version that was just a slimmed down M1. Splurged most of my student loan to order it through my LBS and got my mate the mechanic to build it up for me, my pride and joy.
Bastard only swapped all the Intense decals for specialized ones.

Haha, i would have killed him dead if that was my mate! I rode M1 for my downhill, i was dreaming of a uzzi for freeride, But i was 15-16 at the time and all my money went into the M1.

That looks great. I was set on getting my M1 powder coated but those pics are making me reconsider.

I really dont like the shine you get with powder coating.

And this bike will not be abused in any way.

All small parts cleaned and polshed up.
New bearings.

Marzocchi Mark (mtbforksbymark.com) built me a Shiver, waiting for delivery is pain in the @ss

Must say, Mark has been great dealing with, giving me updates and a really cool tear down movie.
