This was definitely a thing I was there, and it was a glorious time in MTB! I still miss my Yellow Banshee Morphin, which was 26/24 mullet running a Monster T. Hucking my meat off, anything I could. Freeride wasn't just a riding style it was a way of life.

hey man, did you buy this bike in Belgium? i've seen a photoshoot happen in Winterberg on the slopestyle track by a belgian dude. he had allmost all the same parts as yours. i still may have some footage but not in a great quality since it was around 2010. crazy bike for sure !!! have fun !!
@FietsofStrength Жыл бұрын
I bought the bike from a fella in the Midwest, but he had moved there from Belgium where he originally built the bike. It's very likely the same one! How many LeToy frames had seismic hubs back then anyway? Would love to see the footage!

A marzocchi drop-off TI would look so good on that rig. Also you can use zipties on the pivot points of clutchless simano derailleur's to stop chain slap. I have a ghetto setup like that on my Norco

Over sized front shocks on hardtails is trending. Looks good. I like that frame a lot. Same colors I rock + on raw aluminum. Btw you can shim the seatpost its easy enough and holds as usual. Use the plastic kind they have a much firmer hold.

Just a thought. I think it would ride a whole lot beter when you put the lower single crown fork on. Or at least some lower bars. This bike came out in my youth but even then it was a boat anker like no other.
@FietsofStrength2 жыл бұрын
You're not wrong. There's a lot I would do differently that would make this bike ride better, but the way it's built now makes me happy, and that was the goal.

Love this era of stuff. Still envious of those hubs. I think that head set is some high-load thrust washer setup meant to take a beating. I'd like to see your thoughts on running before and after swapping those boat anchor tires out for something newer and lighter

Good call on the headset. This one seems to have definitely taken a beating. Those bearings are un-happy. Gonna keep the tires for a while. They carve hard, believe it or not
@draggonhedd2 жыл бұрын
@@FietsofStrength I think between those washers in the headset MIGHT be a needle thrust bearing. You might be able to replace it and freshen it up. Maybe take it to and old mtb shop and see if the sages there know a thing or two about em.
