Showcase
Bought new in 1999, with a P-Bone D fork, Vanilla shock, Coda hubs (crappy Sachs-made), Mavic 221 rims, IRC Mythos tires, Sachs Centera shifting, CPI crank (rings were not replaceble...), and Avid v-brakes.
Upgraded with Vanilla RC shock, Marzocchi Pro coil forks (105mm travel), XT fourpiston discs (203/160), Mavic 317 disc rims, XT disc hubs, X7/X9/XTR shifting, Schwalbe Nobby Nic tires (and different bar, stem, seatpost, saddle etc).
The upgrades were defenitely a succes in all but one...
This bike has been through many changes over the years and still keeps rolling along. Originally built up XT Components with Grip Shift, Manitou 4 and WTB Velociraptor F/R.
D.O.B 08/23/1988 - according to the serial number.
Found the frame for $20 (AUS) in a garage sell. Had to remove some bits, like the non-matching wheels (they were different sizes), the drop bars (as the frame is a tad large for me) and the gears (very loose and slipped all the time).
Now I gots me a flat bar single speed that rides really ffffffffffaaaaaaaaaassssssstttttt!!
