Mountain Hard Tail
Started with this one today.
Made it quite quick.
I still want to change a few parts.
"Risen from ruins" or the story behind this bike:
A colleague discovered this heavy used F800 on a flea market in southern Germany and sent me some pictures by Whatsapp and of course i immediately wanted it because the 502 M crankset! ( Paid 55€!)
The bike was ugly, dirty and covered with power bars sticker.
After holding in my hands i noticed, that the fork works still very sensitiv.
"Oh, it could be a bike for my lovely lightweight wife!"
My wife was horrified if she saw it!
So i forced...
Revived this F1000 recently and converted the cockpit. Original ‘Diamond Black Metallic’ paint. Riding smooth now!
Our old F600 Furio needed an update so I did some gravel bike type mods just for fun.
- Shimano GRX 1x11 chainset. 42T cassette, XT derailleur.
- Hope Mini Mono disc brakes (was V brakes)
- Old Coda wheels of an old Jeykll with narrow tyres.
I really like the look of the F700.
Build it up with
Shimano XT 3x8
The Maxxis are a Bit to big.
I have to change that.
This is a rather rare 1995 Championship Edition F2000 to celebrate the wins of Alison Sydor and Tinker Juarez in 1994.
So She is done!! This is my interpretation of an old school new school build, I have kept all the original parts and have updated pretty much everything on the bike. The carbon lefty has been overhauled by Craig at Mendon and everything else is new and updated except for the wheels which are next.
