Jumping ship again The Muni Mula is lovely but the long-term plan (ha, did I ever have a long-term plan? ) was to build something I could chuck in a bike bag to take to my future second home in the Cohuttas, GA and I reckon this fits the bill far better.

On it's way now but parts are already accumulating . . .

Marzocchi Z3 Lights had been earmarked for the lovely Muni but (steerer-length permitting) should be perfect for a pump-track/DJ build. Now retouched and lacquered . . .

Fingers crossed this project actually makes it to the trails, eh? :facepalm:

Had on of those back in the day, you will love it!

It's arrived!

Super-excited about this one. Paint and decals are in near perfect condition so it won't need too much tlc before building. Oh why do I have to work all day tomorrow? :evil:

It's the loooong version - not too worried as my everyday ride (Cove Hooker) has a 22.5" top tube but this should make it a little more manageable for tiny folk like me . . .

Bring it on!!!

Getting there . . .

Steerer is a tad too short though so I'll need a steerer extender before I can test-ride it in anger

Just fitted a pair of wheels to see how it stands - it's freakin' massive :shock:

Re:

Long? Tall? Both??

 

[mamadirt]

Ha ha, both I guess :facepalm: That seatpost is at full riding height - damn my little legs - and the reach feels pretty damn long. We'll see . . .

Re:

Uh oh, I can see where this might be going.... :facepalm:

Lovely looking frame, doesn't seem that big but did they perhaps do them in 'long' versions, like they do BMX's sometimes?

Ha ha, yeh, it's the XL version - 23" toptube :shock:
