Another bike to ad to the collection, no idea when ill get them finished but this is one that will be high up on the list!

I saw it for sale on a fb group page in Canada for $400, being based In Australia I acted quick even spoke to guy selling it on the phone and he already had people on the way over (which was a bit crap of him in a way to invite multiple people to his house and sell it to the first person that got to it. By chance the guy I got put onto in Canada lived the next street over so walked over and bought it right there and then!

Big plans for this one starting with the shock as I know the fox RC is a much better more reliable fork but I am after a RS Pro Deluxe shock measuring 9" x 2.75 (so if anyone has a spare I am super keen.

Lots of other bit will be sold like the tyres, cranks and a few other bits so I can make a full Steve Peat Replica.

Totally forgot about this one, but I did get some NOS XTR M952 170mm cranks for the future Steve Peat replica

Pretty sure Peaty had one with him on his tour he did a year or so back over here in the UK.

This will be really nice
 
I finally got the DHI posted from Canada to Australia and the cost wasn't crazy like some of the quotes I was given such as $2000 and $1200 . My friend over there used NetParcel and it was $469 still quite expensive but the whole bike only cost me $300 so its not that bad really.

Hubs sorted for the build, slowly began stripping it this week, just need to get the main pivot out and I can get the frame off to the powder coater.

BETD used to make/source pretty much everything you needed to rebuild these. They still have most of it listed on their site.

I've think I found someone with some NOS spares. Just waiting on the dimensions but they look excactly the same
