should have went to bed cause I think I'm getting "fat-er" :roll: :D


Ya bass :twisted: :cool: that is indeed a very cool cool frame. I was so tempted but I was thinking it may be too big.I'd love a FAT from that era very nice :cool:


On another note the unibombers looking good, those forks don't really alter the geo much at all. Should make a fine workhorse :)

Oh dear, you haven't.. (clickety click, checks for sale section)... yes you have! An '86 :shock: Period parts build?
 
Don't have the money for it ZZ but it is rather beautiful and he has a set of orig forks which I'll be having too- no idea what I'm going to do with it ha ha, reckon it will be a true garage queen and even though I have no connection with Mt bikes that early on and even given that the components at that time look a bit brutal/industrial, I think it demands a true period build.

This will make it a slow burner but good thing is the bike could be spec'ed any way the customer wanted BITD so I will have more options I suppose.

Thanks for the reminder to invert the Yo, good bit of moisture in there, the moby will need to go as water gets into the tube via the pin :? so will be looking for a swap with a closed top design in a more matt black colour just for you ;)

Any other colour options for the prestige folks (mind the orange/black combo is killer, just got the decal proofs), will have 3 black bikes at this rate.

Thanks for the tip Jimi and K will get some Kurust today, you ment put the waxoyl can in hot water Kaiser, not the bike :?
 
aye waxoyl in the bucket of hot water, thats a tip for spray paint too.

gazz period build :cool: the good thing is if you search the stuffs not too expensive from that era certainly cheaper than the mid 90's stuff. Have a look at the cat and mag scans section, someones posted a scan of all the shimano cats. Either that or the Suntour stuff is rather special as well. Think big eck might have a set of bullmoose bars that would work nice.
