My resto-mod 1996 Lava Dome, was a pooch when I got it, bent seatpost, no drivetrain. Ran it 3x7 for a few years then decided it needed a new lease on life and I've been riding it in 1x9 setup for a while and loving it sick. About the only bike I can pull a respectable wheelie on.

Will do, they are a bit buried behind all the other bikes (projects) I have in the garage
However you can just about see the 2001 Nunu behind the cinder cone.

Hey Hei Hei, here's another... My resto-mod 1995 Hei Hei. Owned it since 2006, bought it because I wanted a ti hardtail for 12hr and 24hr races so set it up with good gear from that time. Fast forward to now, and I've dusted it off and freshened it up. Always liked the look of coloured components against bare titanium.

Mmmmmm, red blingy details... that's not sexy. That's erotic.
Bit of a theme with the jerseys, but one must accessorise, darrrhlings.
