Awesome! I am huge fan of that! I ride a DMC signature bike from when he rode with K2. He is my all time favourite rider!

To be honest it is as near as dammit to standard.

It came with the fishbone seat and post kombo. It also came with the prefile crank and chainwheel. Bars look correct. I would say it is standard (not sure what wheels came on it originally tho)

Pretty much how they came. Only difference is that's a 70's wheelset (ally double wall rims on 70's branded Sovos HF hubs).

The '98 DMC came with Peregrine Super Pro's which nowadays will set you back more than you'll have paid for the bike  :daumenhoch:

Here's the '98 ad:

Yeah it's pretty close to the spec I'm just picky and want it 100% if I can do it lol
I've done some research myself and I've noticed that my forks have U brake mounts where as the only other 2 bikes I can find pics of have a U brake plate
So I need forks as well
I'm not sure what grips it should have
The seat is abit rough so could do with having that retrimmed if I can't find a better one
I've got some super pros that are in good nick but I might rechrome them with some other parts I need doing then I need the mongoose mega hubs
Plus it needs painting cream rather than white
Oh and some mongoose pedals in cream
Still looks cool tho
