Rob's Kaprun; 96 Downhill World Cup winning Bike Gets Completed!

[@nathanbray7864]

his old man telling him he's got most of the old parts for it at the end made me piss great video

[@Bossbmx]

Me too loved it

[@lukanovakbike9569]

yes, nice joke at the end... good actors both :)

[@diamondsink2000]

Still laughing

[@dee3368]

Rob Warner doing F1 commentary would be the fucking greatest

[@robwarner9700]

I agree😂😂😂

[@Bossbmx]

@@robwarner9700 can we make this happen somehow?! bonno come on get him in somewhere!

[@janeblogs324]

I can imagine it now. "OMG he's accelerating". "Look at that he's cornering!"

[@craigj2483]

F1 is far to soft for Warners commentary

[@MrBigad77]

At least he would make it worth watching

[@Emtbtoday]

Your dads amazing man! Wanted to see you as you were before back in the day it probably made is day seeing you complete it all again! After saying he has all the part's thats brilliant what a dad! I lost mine 21 years ago just before i turned 18 but was always at the bike comps etc with me before that!

[@richardparsons7012]

No excuse for not giving it a rag about now that you know you have a box of spares! Thanks for sharing all the old race footage. Right from when I was just getting into the sport.

[@underbikedoverconfident1142]

It would be cool if you took a pilgrimage to Kaprun with that bike. It would make for a killer vlog.

[@robwarner9700]

Thinking about it…

[@chris4536]

Check if it will rain first though 😂

[@theleftbob]

I reckon they’d set up the old course for a true pilgrimage…. 😂

[@Tzar147]

oh Carterton, you posh bugger! Wow of all the places you visit, I never thought I would see you in Carterton hahaha

[@juliaferguson7357]

What a lovley guy your Dad is 🙂 and he had all the parts, epic 😂😂😂😂

[@technophobespain]

I've only just read that Rob has been inducted into the mountain bike hall of fame! About time too, you absolute leg end!

[@bigbail74]

Proper cool . Great to see the bike restored. Ive just restored my 2000 Cove Stiffee. Managed to find brand new old stock Tioga Factory XC tires . The hardest part was sorting out the ancient seized Hope C2 brakes,,, The seals and parts such as pistons were a pig to source!... I should have contacted your dad!!! PS I will never stop being grateful for you and your encouragement at the Redbull 24 hour at Sandwell Valley where you took me under your wing clearly seeing I had sunstroke and sitting with me under a tree chucking pine cones at riders coming past whilst you were vlogging (was that a thing then?). We even came over the finish line together after you making sure we hid around the last bend so we did not have to go round again before the time elapsed. Always grateful and happy memories spending time with one of my cycling heroes. Love your videos.. Never grow up dude!!

[@Oialca]

Been waiting for this follow up for a long ol time

[@adgooch7106]

Love it rob ,when i was a kid and didn't know any better my mate robbed the team van for 2 x atx1s and 2 990s the police took it off me a year later !! Sorry if that put you back on training, not my fault!and you still had a win after ! However owning a bike i could never afford gave me a passion for mtb ,and since then i have bought 2 legitimate dh 1s ,my 17 yo son is restoring one right now so the passion lives on, so some good did come out of it in the end ,! Aswell as my insane bike skills ,never sold a bike since and got 20 od now in the loft !!

[@StennyD]

Great bike. What an ending. Yer dad's a legend

[@bogged9820]

You should take it back to Kaprun and do a run!

[@robwarner9700]

I don’t think it has a full run in it. Or the bike

[@LawrenceButcher]

Your old man, classic! Love the build, remember reading about your win in those pre-www days.

[@Coolcmsc]

Those brakes! The twisty top adjustment was really good: best ever 🎉 Thanks Rob. Enjoy the story as often as you can. We might even believe it’s true one day 😂 PS: Dad’s are “The Best!!!”

[@bryanwagnerseniormtb9940]

Rob, what an amazing build the bike is beautiful. I still have my ‘96 ATX 970 in the John Tomac colors (yellow and purple) it’s a cromoly frame and my wife has a ‘97 ATX 970 with an alloy frame (off white and polished aluminum). They were good bikes back in the day. I’m glad to see that you’ve resurrected the bike that you won on. I can’t wait to see you ride it. I took mine for a ride a couple years ago off rode and it scared the shit out of me but it did it and wanted more. I’m waiting for my knee replacement to heal up so I can get back riding. I currently ride a 2020 Giant Trance and my wife is on a 2022 Liv Intrigue. I will truly miss your commentary for UCI, you are a legend of the sport and all of us have so much to thank you for!

[@johnfowler3873]

Great video Rob! Good to see the old ATX up and running. Headset cap and the headtube badge are from Giant. Frames were made at Kastan to meet the racing season deadline.

[@robwarner9700]

Good info sir thanks, cant be many of them left

[@TonyHarrison78989]

Ah man, the chat with your dad at the end had me laughing my head off! 😂

[@joegatrill6634]

Omg that ending! Your dad is brilliant. Nice work Jamie and glad you got misty eyed over it eventually Rob! I've got an old ATX one in my house because of those nostalgic feelings.

[@DuffmanOhNo]

Just here to say I'm gutted we won't have you on the MTB commentary. End of an era. Papa Warner is absolute gold too.

[@seansamurai1981]

I got calluses on my shins because of pedals like those 😂 Oh man, the old Tioga Control saddle with the ballbag scoop on the front

[@dunkwilsable]

Haaa ha ha, brilliant… best ending ever!… dad coming out with having all the old tatt, really cracked me

[@scottsather602]

Yep, dad steals it again.

[@robwarner9700]

Every time!

[@Bossbmx]

I rode your atx 1 dh at bike 1998 at the nec they had a bit of dirt set up next to the giant team truck was soo cool and later you jumped off the truck into a tiny dirt landing was brilliant to watch! haha

[@doonhilla]

Haha the ending, old dads are great. You were part of the pioneers of the sport, the days when i got into mtb. If it wasn't for you, Peaty and Jason i dunno what i'd be doing with my life, so thanks for inspiring me and many others to take up this amazing sport

[@DuckRideDuck]

Square Taper BB, always bending !! 😂

[@gregd1410]

Legendary forks, I’ve got 97 bomber Z1s on my old Chameleon they still ride great today

[@alexharris2313]

Bloody brilliant, glad you got it finished. Jamie’s a top bloke. Your Dad at the end with your parts stash 🤣 Please take it back to do a run at Kaprun

[@barryowen8261]

Classic love this video especially his dad at the end 😂

[@Emtbtoday]

Actually happy to hear you love it again! The last video's of you calling everything under the sun yeah ok but it was a good bike back then and its great to see you back with your bike and the long hair was that grown to go with the final video? Lol good though man good to see it back in a usable state!

[@ericm8811]

Hey Rob Warner! I hope the parts you bought to replace the ones your dad had hidden in the shed were very expensive! Ride ride ride!

[@dadbod4life]

Ive been waiting forever to see this completed!

[@BOLLOX64]

Love the improvised workshop apron!

[@MrStonedraider]

i mean its not the atx one😋 Glad to see you got it done, looks great, cant put a price on memories eh

[@kodithebear]

I had that stem and chain guide 😂 Great walk down memory lane! Cheers mate

[@robwarner9700]

Glad you liked it ✊🏻

[@Andy-Mc]

Love that!! I always wanted an atx1 dh when I was younger and I even got into a bidding war on eBay upto nearly a bag of sand about a year ago.

[@JustTex]

What an ending haha, brilliant. Cheers

[@DownhillSnail]

Fuck yea, nice. So glad to hear you like it and it brings you good memories! Your old man stealing the show at the end was fantastic too

[@st1ffee]

brilliant so glad its finished

[@geoffsimons3475]

Surely you and Peaty can have a retro bike reunion?

[@robwarner9700]

Good idea!

[@01FozzyS]

FINALLY this rebuild is finished! Been wondering what happened to the project. lol

[@austenmclean7588]

Now it’s time to do a video on all the bits in the old fellas attic then!

[@davec197]

Great, we need more of Rob's Dad dishing the dirt lol

[@8StuD8]

Rob, nice video to close that off and would be good to run back to back with your Glory. You looked genuinely pleased towards the end (even if you didn't at the beginning 😂). Makes me want to get my ATX 990 out of storage now...👍

[@petermascall1158]

Still using a pair of 321s. Great rims. And got a pair of thiose brakes with the torsion arm thing somewhere.

[@Metal-Possum]

I went looking for that bronze statue but all I found was this huge statue with a tiny c... a bit like the statue of David. The engraved plaque never lies though.

[@albinoape5170]

I have some of the Rob Warner pedals, brand new in the box still.

[@27lacuna27]

I wrapped electrical tape around my DCD roller. Had the same effect of preventing 'ruts' appearing in the roller

[@chrislouram3013]

Your old man is awesome

[@robwarner9700]

He’s funny alright!

[@Emtbtoday]

Nicholsons now Cycle life used to sell your peddles £60 think i was for mine all them years ago! I stay in Scotland they were brilliant peddles i had the DCD without it my chain wouldn't stay on when jumping it! Then ended up getting the guides that went on the back of the crank with the 2 wheels with the teeth basically a rear shifter wheel was it!? worked though and Tioga Tyres were the Damage lol

[@BassSwirls]

Looking up who was the first uk DH World champion bought me here . Someone ( speaker from the edge ) on fb says it was Gee.. but I knew better .

[@matthewmcintyre7153]

I will always remember the image from the broadcast where Rob is seen inside the commentary room naked in his boxers and a mug 🤣🤣

[@dodgymtbknee]

i remember watching this bike going up against pro flex 👀 still amazing well built bikes.

[@theandying]

I would love to see how a bike like that would cope with a modern track. I like to think it would do it in half the time with zero mechanicals. Man and Machine !

[@kennymorris6329]

How's that rear disc brake mount! Cool Dad. F1 commentary? Yes please...

[@andrewcowin3055]

Rob we need you for Isle Of Man TT commentary 🤟

Did you win a World Cup Rob?
