Iron Horse Sunday Reborn - A Classic Downhill Bike Modified with Modern Geometry & Mullet Wheels

Hey again: I wanted to add that this is a one off project for me and personal useage only. I am no expert on bike building, i simply want to try and create something unique. I don‘t know yet if i can ride this bike safely, i hope so but i am going to have another welded frame tested to be sure it holds up. I am not going to give out instructions on how to do it. And i am not going to build a bike for you. If u make your own you must be aware that it might not be safe to ride. It is your decision and your own responsibility. I do not take any credit for any crashes or technical failures whatsoever but i think this is clear. Thanks again for all you support and feedback. It has been an unreal 24h.

@meathooker: thanks! i really appreciate it! i wanted to keep my tuned charger and the coil spring. the new boxxer does not come with coil springs (by now there is a coil conversion kit i believe). and after all it was cheaper to buy a lyrik lower leg and machine the crowns then to buy a new fork and coil kit and so on. :) but if i get my handy on a new boxxer 29 i would like to play around with different tuning stuff.

@wiscodh: hello! well i did not say i was a expert. i am certainly noo expert but as i said i sudied material for some time now and have been in touch with some of austrias best material scientists, my welder also is one hell of a experienced guy. i wont say its not gonna break. but the frame we welded and rode last year held up very well. i am already a reckless person so why not ride a reckless bike. cheers
