Retro DH bike collection

[Ginger Rick]

Evening peoples, this is my first post and I thought it was about time I shared my collection of retro DH bikes I've built, or as my wife would put it hoarded

ive managed to hoard a mass of spares which i'm hoping people would like to trade to help me finish some projects off. I've got to many parts to list so just ask, got stuff like, loads of hope stuff, xtr, mrp, boxxer, mostly dh parts

im still working on a GT RTS, Alpine stars cro mega, santacruz super 8 and am always looking out for other projects

here what ive kinda finished,

looking forward to your comments

Rick

Yes the lobo was my first. I used to race one of those back in the day.

The Rocky Mountain is a bit special. Will wanted it exact, I'm still missing a race face headset from back then and amber wall tyres are really hard to find. Will actually rave that bike down Festinog this year. I was sure the wheel was gonna fall apart

Looking at those your rts will likely be special, there is a few of us on here that have Rts's looking forward to seeing it.


Welcome.

Re:

Excellent work.

A lobo is about the only I'd expand my collection for.

One day...

Re:

Welcome Rick, that's quite an entrance may I suggest more pictures of your Sean Palmer in the 'Show us your FSRs' thread in 1998----> section? That would be a very welcome addition
Keep the projects going!
