I usually hang out in the pre 98 section but seeing as I have something eligible….
I found this for sale in bournemouth and it hadn’t been used for quite some time. It was given to a guy who was a personal trainer by one of his clients. It needed the Sid black box carbon forks rebuilding, had riser bars and different tyres. But it’s come together pretty well. A great guy called Brendan Berry rebuilt the fork brilliantly for me. It’s super fast and agile. I might swap a few more parts but it flies as it is.

Original clear Crud Catcher rounds it off. Asssaver thing for when it is wet out.
Plenty for haters to hate already
but have a white Rolls Titanio, white hoods and blue Newbaums to complete the bingo card. Also got hold of some nos 20h Crossride rims and with AC hubs some new wheels planned for next year. Also Sram X0 rear mech to go back on after a rebuild.
Goes well on byways, gravelly stuff, and can worry roadies.
