What were you guys riding back in the day? This was the final form of my bike back when I was a teenager.
One One Gimp frame
FSA pig three piece cranks
Single speed conversion
24inch Atomlab rear wheel with DMR moto
26inch Atomlab front with DMR moto digger
Manitou forks
DMR wing bars and zip grips
DMR V8 pedals
I was chasing that slack head angle before it was cool apparently, not that I knew that was even a thing back then :D
My brakes were always my feet and I only recently got a saddle in these pictures as I rode without a saddle for around 4 years prior to this.
I wish I still had this bike but sadly it moved on a long time ago now.
I won’t try and pretend they weren’t decent forks around that time I just personally didn’t like the feel of them so always found myself going in other directions.
I really liked these Manitou I had on this build or prior to those I had some Rock Shox Psylo’s that I also really liked.
There was for sure space for opinions those days, the feel on 2 great forks could be so wildly different
