I love it. That bike is a classic and I love seeing good stuff getting resurrected. I dig the romic too....going for the total retro package. WELL DONE :thumb:

I don't mind that the front wheel is lower than the back wheel, but it being closer to the camera makes it look bigger and shows that the perspective of the bike is all skewed.

Wow sweet bike:thumb:

A few things cut the seat post and run the rear derailleur cable on the lower chain stay. The way you have it it will rub on the frame.

I am nit-picking here but change the shock and the seat and you will have one gorgeous bike.
Romics were awesome, when they worked. The seat is a WTB Rocket V, which is one of the best light seats out there. I wouldnt change them.

I like it!!

Yeah that Rocket seat is sick!

Zark my speed is way off what it used to be so I dont think I will have a problem snapping it!

Daisycutter the seat as is when sitting my knees are pretty bent. I may snip another 1-2" off it at most. i will wait and see.

THANKS

Still looks like a couch to me... I prefer a lower profile saddle, but thats just personal preference. As for the Romic, it remains the only shock I have ever blown (including a DHX5.0 Air that I ran on my Socom for a bit).

But I understand it is difficult to get newer piggy-back style shocks to play nice with M1 frames.

Nice! Ya, I miss my M1....it was a good bike. Kinda wish I could find the guy that stole it OUT OF MY GARAGE and give him a nice piece of my mind.

But ya...it rode great.
