Jimbog’s 95 DBR Axis TT Titanium build

[jimbog]

Had a choice of Judy SL or Judy XC forks. Opted for the XC’s as they aren’t a lot heavier (about 150 grams). They have been recently rebuilt/repainted and the steerer is longer, allowing for a few headset spacers.

May change my mind and use the Judy SL’s as I want to have highest spec possible…..within reason.

Stems, spacers and Ti bar fitted this afternoon. Thomson stem is the wrong era but I’m looking out for a zero rise Ti stem when one comes up that isn’t a crazy long length.

Working out which wheels to use. Gen 1 Crossmax or M952 XTR with Mavic 517 ceramic. I of course have the rears to make up a pair. Any thoughts? I’m using m950/52 groupset so the XTR’s would match, but I like the all black/yellow combo of the crossmax. The spokes on the XTR’s look like they maybe Titanium looking at the finish on them. Tyres may change.

X517 would be my choice as it’s closer to the year. Crossmax is quite a bit later.

I was under the impression that the gen 1 Crossmax wheels came out in 96?

I couldn’t say for sure. But I thought 98. They were certainly on bikes in 98/99 MY catalogues but can’t remember seeing them much earlier.
