Ozone CO2 with a little added Pre-Mountain Mayhem Bling

[KDM]

I know the purple can sometimes be seen as a bit chavish but on this bike and in the way it's been done, I can't see how it could have been done any better. Nice build.

I know where you're coming from BITD I bought an ex demo Pace (still have it) and despite paying good iron for it I systematically set about replacing the Purple Anno ....as I hated it :roll:

Would be good to get these two estranged brothers to meet up some time....

Niall

now that would something! any plans to take it to Icon-O-Classic this year ?
I know you've more than a few nice ones in the stable

where did this one come from ? I think someones been holding out on us...as I've never seen your build thread for it

Hi mate, sorry I didn't want to hijack your thread. Your's is a stunning build

I have considered going to icono-O with one or 2 of my collection (thankyou for the nice comment ) but not sure they would be what people want to see :|

I must confess, I did not build this one up, I took ownership of it from the original owner who bought the frame and built it up all brand new in 93'ish.
The only things I have done to it is change the bars and stem, pedals and a set of smoke/darts and some NOS ati fork boots.

Prior to seeing yours the only one I knew of was the Red Anno one belonging to Minor Legend

has yours go the same drilled out backend as his ?

It does yes, a very nice little touch I think.
I will confess, I owned Minor legend's badly faded anno red one for a year or so but didn't do anything with it, another member has it now, though im tempted to get it back....

I will pop a thread up on it if you guys want to see more of it?

Re:

Small post Mountain Mayhem update,

The old girl did me proud, okay were we part of a 10 man team so only got a couple of laps in on it, but boy were they great ones…had me grinning from ear to ear.
Like a lot of the other retro rigs it got a lot of looks and comments, especially when sat in the transition area awaiting the handover, not sure if it was the rather subtle use of Purple, the M2 forks with approx. 25mm of travel, Canti brakes and snowflakes at both ends or all of the above and the fact no one else was running 26 inch rims

Ready for battle and still shinny



Waiting in the transition area



Hate this photo but it’s the only one I have of it on the course



Post ride (lap 1) Despite previous years being muddy as hell this year was another dry(ish) one




gotta lot of polishing to do before it goes to Icon-O-Classic in a few weeks

Re:

So cool now it's built.
Snowflake rear wheel though!!! Non-drive side maybe but both sides jeez. Does the rear wheel feel tight?

Love the bike though.

and for the doubting Thomas's ....of which Mr Legend is only one of dozens

I forgot to mention the rear snowflake is still going strong, perhaps its more to do with my
fortunate choice of a Pulstar hub and straight pull spokes or perhaps I was just got lucky again and one day it will collapse on me

either way its ready to roll for another outing, more than can be said for the Manitou

Re:

I think it's fair to say, of the early 90's alloy hand built frames, the uk got it right.
20 years later and they are easily as able to withstand a bit of punishment as they were BITD.
Unfortunately the same can't be said for more expensive frames from the same period (as we both know from bitter experience)

I gave my Ozone a spanking on the beach with the father in law a couple weeks back, a bit of clean and oil, good as new :-D

(Yes, I need more sun on my legs....)
