I think I'm thinking the old Cannondale Fulcrum actually. Either way, absolutely beautiful.
haha lol, Yeah it was a mean bike at the time, now the fork is getting way to used poorly enough and decided that it might have a good old retirement or a total new setup and custom paint.
Ow yes I forgot to tell that the rear wheelaxle was a 165mm, wich is a very rare measurment for a DH.
oh man, that foes is incredible! It so perfectly represents the nineties too...stem too long, seat too high, top tube right up in your kidneys...plus a triple ring, just in case!

And don't forget the rear rim brakes
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner. Liberty is a well armed sheep, contesting the vote.
I've got to share my newest edition! I can't quite dial in what year it is, but my best guess would be an '02 or '03 being it has different swingarm cross bracing than my '01. It almost looks like the Decepticon symbol! Suspended with an '04 Monster T and newer Fox DHX coil, Sram XO Blackbox and Code 5 brakes with T.H.E. wheels and Brake Therapy Floating rear brake kit with misc Thompson/Raceface parts.
The fork needs a rebuild, but everything is else works as its supposed to. If anyone has info on where I can score a rebuild kit for an old Monster, it would be appreciated.
Scored the bike for $800 which I kinda feel like is a little much, but I'm content with the deal.
My brother just picked up a RM7 too, hopefully he'll post some pics of it.

my brother (twitedlizard720) got me into building a classic dh/fr rig. so what was one of the best know bikes in the late 90s early 2000s that was a awesome bike in the movies? the rm7. pics will be soon
I think I have about 15 complete bikes ranging from 1995-2006, ridden them all...love them and plan on keeping them hanging for all to enjoy.Most if not all of them are cracked somewhere, but that's how it goes.
Def. conversation pieces when people come into the shop and go "OH !" i remember that one..rock on retro brothers and sisters...
