I think you need to allow someone to race this bike in the dream race or 3 rounds they are doing at the nationals this summer. Hell I will put $100 towards getting her back in pristine shape after! All joking aside, it would be rad to follow someone on this bike at a big race.

I have had a few guys hit me up about my kx. They yz would never get ridden. The frame and carbon is all literally like brand new. The forks and shock still need serviced.

I ended up with another cool piece for the bike. 2 piece kyb kit shock. It came from the other side of the world but it's the exact shock the team used on occasions. After talking with one of the old mechanics they used both shocks 2 piece and stock body with upgraded internals.

No,
The wife needs to convince you youre gonna be dead in 50 yrs or whatever, your kids wont even be able to sell it to a crackhead w/ a can of black paint, and this orgasm you could have right now is just a dumb fantasy like a fake internet whore.
I know it cost thousands. Rare. But if u didn't have the $ to throw around on zillion $ Ti sh!t u wouldn't do it in the 1st place.
You put this over a pool table.

You could be the cats meow at MX rewind and share the joy, give 600 old bastards a woodie, and its hidden so you can see your $1,471 Ti axle that doesn't have a scratch on it.

I've redone a low budget yz w/stock sh!t & cant imagine what it would be like to rail a corner on this beauty.

SADLY YOU NEVER WILL EITHER..

I sit here in envy and don't know weather to cry or throw this Heinekin bottle at you.

End of rant, It's amazing, yours, and congratulations to you sir.

I kinda got lucky and all the ti was there lol. Lucky they actually used steel axles on the bikes. I dunnon is a bike that you just don't ride. It'll never be the same if it's ridden. There is a little more work to come in the next few weeks for it. After that it'll be a show piece.

Glad you didn't take the "bottle throw" the wrong way as it was 'a saying', not a threat.
Doesn't change the fact I'm still gonna cry while you sit there and admire that beautiful piece of art and history.

You know you could throw epay wheels & plastics on it, go out by yourself w/ no roost, and nobody but you would be the wiser Smile

N style hooked it up big time on this. They are now doing hologram graphics again. It cost a little extra but well worth it.
Should have the shrouds in a few days

Those Troy bikes were so sick.

Awesome seeing N-style reproduce these. The hologram is definitely throwback!

Yes the hologram is. When they told me they could make em again I was pretty pumped. It's pretty much the team trademark. The grey was ok but it just isn't the same.

Such a sick build! Used to love those bikes.

I understand why you won't ride, it would be cool to ride it though, best case would be to get one of the YoT team riders from that era to spin a few laps on it (and then you could have it in the living room with dirt and all Wink , now that's a hard sell to the wife).

Two more Smalls pieces but good pieces. These were kind of like a trade mark. They put top magnesium bar mounts. For what I dunno, but they are cool.
