I have a wife and kid..... but will swap for a mint looptail quad and a pair of NOS graphites ha ha ha

Nov 10 2005, 10:01 PM
Chris, yes please. I may do my own set of repros based on these.
I have a spare set of Santa Anna GT decals from Biagio if you want those? Not quite an even swap so maybe you can throw in that garbage gusseted early 80s chrome Robinson. Or we can sort it out with the 24" Ukai?

freestyler
Nov 10 2005, 10:36 PM
thanks for asking bud
AndyDiamond
Nov 10 2005, 10:59 PM
Ok - what do you mean by bits?
Stems are pretty hard to find unless you get those ones that come up on ebay all the time (not old school so not correct for an old school build).
Likewise Profile hubs horseshoe pedals etc.
Repop decals for those crank arms are easy to get.
prosight
Nov 10 2005, 11:00 PM
so what profile stuff do you need then Jas
prosight
Nov 10 2005, 11:24 PM
i think that was the best bit that i got with my NOS profile kit was NOS profile hubs..

Awesome GHP Andy. Greg would be proud!
On the topic of Profiles . . . still looking for the black Champ Pro test from an Aussie mag. Thanks Mr.BMX for searching.
Is it true that Profile produced Hutch frame sets? Frame is the same other than the extra bar. Some fork models are the same also.
AndyDiamond
Nov 10 2005, 11:57 PM
Um - one of the Hutch guys would be able to fill you in on that Marty - there is some kind of tie in.
Thruster = Hutch etc....
Pofile made the Hucth Aerospeed arms etc...
Yeah, Greg Hill himself siad it was sweet - a nice compliment indeed.
Just gotta pop some NOS Hutch cages on the pedals and change the PPP chainwheel out for a power disc set up.

Yes it is true. Here's a link to the unofficial history of Hutch.

I hope some-one is documenting all the decal options for current model bikes so in 25 year's time there will be a database that says, "the clear back Santa Ana goes on a ...."
Martin, I think I might move into risk management consulting as you must have far too much money. I bought a Diamond Back V-Link back in about '96 and I think GT was producing their first i-drives about then weren't they? Memory is not good but I remember admiring them but thinking they were soooo expensive. I nearly went with a GT Zaskar hardtail but decided on the full suspension.

James,
Ha!
I've got every model class GT MTB made since 1996. Including a carbon i-drive and a carbon STS. I also have a Zaskar Team. I rode all of them but not anymore. All the frames will be framed on a wall one day . . . when I settle down in one country.
Waiting for my new Santa Cruz Nomad to arrive. Would love to post pics but Mr.BMX and Freestyler will spit chips! LOL

Hey Martin, Love the GT frame before. I rode an I -drive (2004) last week for the first time. I couldnt believe how light they are.
www.martin-bike.com
Nov 11 2005, 12:47 AM
Cool!
See Mr.BMX and Freestyler, there are others here that care. Mountain biking is just an extension of BMX. Many of the top pros were BMX racers from BITD.
Take Brian Lopes for example. That guy has been racing since he was a little kid. He's an awesome rider now and consistently wins 4X and previously, downhill.
Difference is you can ride in the most far out of places - places you can't get to by car or would take days to trek to. It's still got that "boys toys" allure about it - you know, tinkering with technology and grease. Plus it's healthy.
Also cool is being challenged by very scary bone breaking, blood letting stuff. Sometimes you stop and walk, sometimes you try, fail, crash and get hurt . . . but sometimes you try and you make it. It's a great feeling overcoming your fears with the bike skills you learnt as a kid riding BMX!

I think most mtb'ers are nuts. Some of the things they pull off are amazing. Then again people said that about me bitd!

Don't worry, I won't post any more pics of MTBs here. Going riding tomorrow so will get my fix then.
So, anybody selling an Aero plate?
And . . . has somebody here done some repro decals recently? I was told that after the show, we'd be able to know. Please reveal . . .

Freestyler, don't you have a Champ Pro? What's an XL Champ - is this a later model?
Coastvl, mountain biking is fun! That's where martin-bike came from, a pun on the sound of mountain bike. LOL
