Early full suspension MTB
This is a 92/93 Amp Research(Horst Leitner) with the first iteration of the horst link, rebadged by Mongoose as an Amplifier.
Found in the local classifieds as F&F, never built. Try to stay period correct. Hi Slowly been collecting the bits and its coming together. Should have it done in the next month or so, just in time for some trails to open. It won’t see any thing too technical, with less than 2” travel f&r. enjoy the pics. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...001211850.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...508355fdc.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...604de4a67.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...0c7da9ffe.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...8f622afab.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...83bdd17cd.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...9171cde2b.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...4626a0eee.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...d763ff0de.jpeg |

I share your affinity for the bicycles of AMP Research:
