Thanks guys I am over the moon

Mark website is looking REALLY good & about time you started a slow burning thread on the A2X!

Yeah, I know.. Yesterday I found a set of NOS Onza H.O. pedals in California that match what I want to put on the 94 A2X, and that got me thinking about both the 93 and the 94. I'm going to begin sourcing parts for both, but I'll be taking it slowly. I guess the one thing I could do now is to get the decals going on the 93, that requires minimal effort..

Hey ctk-

Great job on the build, it's looking fabulous! Better job on the kid, beautiful lil' future cyclist you have there, 'gots the racer's eyes!!! My little one sent me to the moon when she was born, every day she keeps me in orbit! You must enjoy a challenge... restoring bikes, having a baby, and moving??? Life wasn't full enough?

Well done!!!

Best wishes,

-DON-

p.s. Sneak a nap or a power-sleep as often as possible but don't forget to tend to the misses (just kidding), like she'd let you forget. Good luck!

Still not finished! Complete U-turn on build... RST XMO (US made )
Hope disc on the front and possibly probably set up as a SS. A week and its done...

Very nice progress and congrats on the new addition!

…BTW if you find any Finish Line chainstay protectors pencil me in for 1!…

I'm not the only one looking for one of these! I may need to fake one up with a decal over a simple blank protector if they just aren't available.

Wow, radical departure for sure! I'm sure that bike's going to handle like an Orange County Chopper with that thing on there. Keep us posted, and let some of us (me) know if you wish to lose the Scott Unishock!

I'll leave you to do the period correct build! The fork is not that long (maybe it looks like it in the pic?) Its only 30mm longer than the Spinner/Barracuda rigid fork I have as another option...

Scott fork is yours if you want it Mark. Postage + a couple of beers?

[Mark]

Postage and a couple of beers? Deal. And I'll raise you with a nice plug on the website.

PM me and I'll send you my contact details.
