i am looking for a dh frame from the 90's. an overbuilt pig that can take a 3" rear tire. you know the one you wouldnt be caught dead on 10 years later. that beaten dog you have in the garage or basement. let me know what you have. the more beaten the better. one step away from broke is ok. i also need a fork like a monster t or stratos to go with it. let me know what you got.

you just have to ride it a little to qualify.
that would do, but the big fatty fat would be the big score.i have a Canfield Fatty Fat hanging off the wall in my bike room...

Why would you look for anything other than a Banshee Scream?
EDIT: OK, except maybe for the Karp Apocalypse
EDIT: OK, except maybe for the Karp Apocalypse
it's all about the look.
Isn't karpiel selling apo again? Or is a 2010 apocalypse not as badass as something old and beat up?
i think he wants something cheap to rape and build an abomination...
it's got to be used so it will have war stories and character. here is my old ride .i am going for post apocalyptic steam punk. i would change the tire to my 4" endo and stud it front and rear. leather saddle and grips, skull stem and saw blade discs..etc.

I have a 1997/8 Nicolai Outlaw, now called a Lamda ST i believe, complete with all period running gear. Bergamn upside down forks, Hope Big Un hubs, Azonic shorty etc
How about a brooklyn big link?
if the price is right.
that super8 would be awesome. How much you lookin for that thing?
i also should include over complicated linkage.
I think you want that double shock Karpiel huck supreme special that Bender rode for a while. Apocolypse maybe?

Just spotted this bad ASS GT Lobo on our local Craigslist and thought of this thread. Check it out. Fully built for only $350.00.

There is a reason you don't see Super 8s anymore. They ALL broke...twice.
Does it include the neck brace and back board you'll need to be carted off the trail?
I don't have any leads, but I just wanted to say that I really like this thread.
super8 would be sweet with this, and some monster t's
I have an old Foes DHS Tube in my basement. Similar to the one in the attached pic. This one is white and has the red anodized AC chainguide on it.
Your gonna love it!
Shoot me a PM if you are interested.

here is the look. tha karp apo has it. thats the crown jewel if i can get one. i am working a deal on the stratos forks because they are the right color and would fit the 4" tire i have. with the stratos i can run them low for a road warrior look.i wouldnt turn away any super monsters or bigfoots though. with these 10+ inch forks i will build it like a penny farthing monster truck.
any leads let me know.

I want a bender bike now. grrr.
Get on ebay man. I see this kind of stuff come up all the time.
i got my finger on the bay. i found most of these are being held onto for sentimental reasons now. it's like finding an old car in a barn.
I have a risse champ 9" version.
wtf is with this build? apocalypse city bike? oi.
