I worked with the importer when that bikes was new. Those were the XC full suspension bikes back in the day. Pretty popular overhere in Holland.

Seems you put a lot of effort your project. Nice parts all over. Well done!

Yeah I agree. That's an awesome 856. Loving the detail, and the mixture of red and black.

Could do with another Spin though.
