Hell yeah nice bike🤘🏻😍
Thanks! I love it.
dannnnng nice bike ! all those diabolus parts got me sweating 🥵🥵🥵😂
Cheers bud! Still going to keep my eyes peeled for a nice Diabolus headset so it matches fully.
Still watching you in bed while my wife watches Netflix ! Sooo relaxing.
Enjoy!
I love that stem
The Diabolus flame logos are awesome.
Very nice 2005 mtb❤️
Thanks ✌️
Welcome back,Mark! Nice find and nice build! Hope you get that shock figured out. Looking forward to the ride.
Me too! I managed to get in touch with another rebuild company yesterday but they again said no to a rebuild so it looks like I’ve got to hope the seals I’ve found work and that I can rebuild it myself!
That a awesome bike I love old dh bikes.
I mean technically it’s a Freeride bike but DH is what I’d use it for most 😅
Nice job hope all is well😎
All good thanks Murphy. Hope all is well with you too.
That old school Freeride bike is beautiful. 😊🔥 Love those Raceface parts... Love the all black color! And those handlebars sounds great, oh and that cat! Is it he the cute thief??? 😹😹😹 Anyways, realy enjoy watching your bike build videos.
Haha she’s similar to the cute their eh. A lot fluffier though.
@@MonkeyShred 😹😹😹 oh, she's a girl. Hahaha...
@@Emz_Jhaye Yup! My supervisor is a girl. Ali’s cute thief is a guy though!
@@MonkeyShred 😅 nice, i'm also a cat person... I have 12 cats in my house... 😹 Anyways, Sick bike build!.
@@Emz_Jhaye 12 cats! Damn that’s a few! Do they all get on?
How do you fix front shox. I bought a John tomak hard tail Rayleigh titanium mtb but no show and my shlds ache at 59 ,26 years of rugby. Any tips. I love vintage rebuilds
I’m not sure I understand. The fork doesn’t work? There are different companies and bike shops that will rebuild forks but it depends how old it is. You might have to do it yourself with a new seal kit if one is available.
Impact wrench saves the day.
Always 😂
This encourages me to get my Santa Cruz bullit 2 up to scratch. I think it has the same forks.
Do it! Hope they still work.
I still ride a cove stiffee love it
I don’t have a Stiffee myself but I do have 2 Handjobs and a Hustler.
@MonkeyShred nice they really are some good bike
So sick
Looks badass! Hopefully there's an uplift service when you get it to the trails lol.
Cove - the bike company that only used teenage boys in its focus groups for choosing the names of its bikes 😂
kinda like this bike 20 era is really something
Thanks!
nice rebuild mate,also those r some massive discs i have 180mm front and 160mm rear and thats big discs to me lol
Thanks! I think if 180-160 as standard now but yeah these are 20mm bigger each end. 4 pot calipers too!
@@MonkeyShred nice,I'm still on mechanical single piston brakes but do the job tho 👍👍
yep - I think you built a tank!! that'll take some punishment!
😂 definitely. There was a young lad buying something in my local bike shop when I walked in with it. He said it looked ancient but that it could hit absolutely anything.
Gat damn that's a lot of negative bb drop 😮
Clearly a freeride bicycle, not a downhill one.
Clearly. That’s why it has the abbreviation FR. Nothing gets passed you 😉
It’s just likely to reach a wider audience titled as DH.
@@MonkeyShred It is still a beauty. I wonder why the braking discs look so small. Given that it is 26 inch wheels, they look like 160 mm, but most likely I am just seeing it wrong and they are 180 mm.
@@GrigoryRechistov small? 😅 it’s got a 200mm front and 180mm rear. Hope M4 calipers.
