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

After two long years I remembered I'd left it at Jamies Bike Shop, and after some thought decided that I probably finish it for nostalgia's sake.

Thanks to Jamie for all his help, she's a beauty.

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

[@scottsather602]

Yep, dad steals it again.

[@robwarner9700]

Every time!

[@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…. 😂

[@EMTBAFV]

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!

[@juliaferguson7357]

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

[@Tzar147]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@Oialca]

Been waiting for this follow up for a long ol time

[@StennyD]

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

[@jamesfinlay6652]

Square Taper BB, always bending !! 😂

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@barryowen8261]

Classic love this video especially his dad at the end 😂

[@gregd1410]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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!!!”

[@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

[@dunkwilsable]

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

[@LawrenceButcher]

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

[@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

[@BaldBloke]

Gonna boil some eggs whilst I wait 😅

[@thecremeegg]

Lol @ His dad at the end haha!

[@TonyHarrison78989]

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

[@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!!

[@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.

[@MrStonedraider]

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

[@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.

[@01FozzyS]

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

[@EMTBAFV]

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!

[@dadbod4life]

Ive been waiting forever to see this completed!

[@JustTex]

What an ending haha, brilliant. Cheers

[@davec197]

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

[@BOLLOX64]

Love the improvised workshop apron!

[@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...👍

[@austenmclean7588]

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

[@st1ffee]

brilliant so glad its finished

[@chrishemming9976]

Love a bit of nostalgia

[@Casualfulltime]

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

[@robwarner9700]

Glad you liked it ✊🏻

[@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

[@geoffsimons3475]

Surely you and Peaty can have a retro bike reunion?

[@robwarner9700]

Good idea!

[@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.

[@dodgymtbknee]

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

[@rgz7318]

Class ✊🏼

[@27lacuna27]

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

[@kingfishersandotherstuff]

“I won’t mention it again” 😂😂

[@albinoape5170]

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

[@dansweeting7899]

CLASS

[@EMTBAFV]

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

[@chrislouram3013]

Your old man is awesome

[@robwarner9700]

He’s funny alright!

[@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 !

[@petermascall1158]

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

[@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 .

[@hobmarg]

Kaprun 96 baby
