That link is to a whole section of the forum, with a lot of posts about the build. This post is a pretty good start, at the very beginning of the whole thing: DR Mag: The Build off.... TIME SENSITIVE: Bike Choice Complete.

I really enjoyed re-reading all of that... good times! A LOT of pressure to knock-out a One-off bike, but we pulled it off.

Hey Okie,
I’ve been away on summer holidays and trying to attend to the many demands of family life.

The frame is getting powder coated at the moment. The engine is completely disassembled but I have all the necessary parts to get it back together.

I did discover that almost all of the rear spokes are loose and I cannot seem to break them loose to tighten and true the wheel. I may be looking at a wheel rebuild.

It's been slow since, well you know life!
I had the frame coated and started making a rolling chassis.

Awesome thread,... Im following along... Its not too often you see a new rider completely over-haul a bike before jumping on and spittin some dirt around,... I commend your for your patience and thoroughness.... In the end you will have a great bike and mega sense of accomplishment to go with it !
BTW,... that peculiar wear mark you found on the front brake reservoir looks like road rash.
Good luck !

Is that CDN$? If so, $915 US. Still seems high. I have a friend's YZ250 listed for 1200 US and it is in much better shape.

My fault. Didn't see all the other pages. Thought this was a new thread. Carry on.

The project looks great.
