Well it never rains it pours! I just bought another beone but a full bike this time that also belonged to Bas De Bever, check out the prototype team only fork! 40/50 were made in the manitou shop for specific riders, they were also one of the first forks to use 20w oil in the lowers, everyone else was using damper fluid apparently which isnt a good lubricant an is sticky, even fox forks years after this started off using damper fluid in the lowers!

I am going to be after some very specific parts for this build namely the Weinmann Stuka Rims which I cant seem to find anywhere.

Ticked off another bike from the list this week, a large GT Lobo! Its in great condition and I can't thanks Lewis Byrne for selling it to me even thou he had bigger money offers!

I have plans like all my bikes but this will not need much and I think I have most thinks I want to change in storage.

You're like @safreek's loaded doppelganger, with taste, and helmets, and normal body image. Actually, you're nothing like him.

and the watches, don't forget the watches

"what country is this watch from ?"

"it no longer exists"

I know a guy who owns a Lobo. He got it from Rob Eva in the early 2000's.
Every time I see him I ask if he's ready to sell, but he is still not willing to let it go
This one is near the top of my dream old DH bikes for sure!
