I'm resurrecting my old Porsche mountain bike. When finished it will have period appropriate upper end, but not matching OEM, components.
I have a frame builder friend who has ridden the bike. He calls it "really fun to ride but heavy". It's the most precise steering mountain bike that I've ever ridden due, I assume, to the monster fork. The inner telescoping tubes on the fork are 35 mm diameter. You have to ride this one on a technical trail to appreciate how sloppy most mountain bikes steer.
I just weighed it. My fish scale says 27 pounds. That's not too bad.
