Soo...i got a new bike.
Long time fan of this one..and eventhough it is really on the verge of beeing " to new"....it still is a proper classic if you ask me.At least its gonna be
Im a huge fan of Rachel Atherton, and of course Gee A , and also Beaumont ...So this joint effort bike between the Athertons and the GT team,,,is really a cool one..and it makes this bike stand out as a bit special, if you are after something more than just a " dh " bike.I think its got some cool MTB history to it...and man it looks cool
My bike here..was actually initally ridden by a norwegian GT sponsored rider,,,,which again is cool..cause i also bought my first DH bike,,,the GT STS DH of a Norwegian GT sponsored rider,,,,that again lead me to getting the LOBO...........So history kinda repeats itself
Eitherway...plans for the bike..is to do a light restore. I want to paint the fork to white..so it gets the 2014 Team Vibe....and also get some more of the missing original parts for it. The DEEMaxes are staying on..but i do fancy some new brakes for it.At least new rotors the same as original
Also..its going to be the bike that i take out to ride.
Anywhoooo...here are some pics
I hope you like it.
And notice the massice difference in wheelbase,,,and fork size etc...
