I had a pretty serious itch that needed scratching... pondered using an NOS Marzocchi for about 12 seconds before I realized that fat and rigid was the way to go.
With the Blizzard hard tail, Moulden XC (rigid), and DBR it is quite the trifecta... and the DBR frame was in really beautiful shape.
Nice catch on the Moto if only for all the parts... this is how bikes like my DBR got built and I put that all together with very little out of pocket expense... $40.00 for the crank, $10.00 for the tyres, some fresh Kool Stops, and cables and housings came to about $70.00 and the rest came from the tickle trunk.
