I have a Tom Teesdale built mountain bike that I had built for me by Tom back in 1998. Its built up with full XTR m950, Bontrager mustang rims, Ringle front hub, Easton carbon bar, thomson seatpost, and a few other parts.
The frame is Tange Prestige with an externally fluted downtube. The geometry is close if not exact to a Kona Hot.
I am in the process of repainting the frame, and rebuilding the bike with a few retro parts that I was unable to afford at the time.
I have a question regarding the fork. I have a Judy SL with Englund total air cartridges that I have been running on the bike. No complaints or issues with this set up. I also have a Sid 100 sitting here and am considering swapping the SID for the Judy. Is the Sid a better fork? or would the Judy work just as well? How about combining parts to make something better than either was. I also have internals for a 1998 Judy DH sitting around.
