Got this back from the paint shop on Christmas day, and just stickered it up tonight!

Chrome forks with 990 mounts? How so, what forks are those?

Holy shit. I wanted one of those so badly back in the day. Isn't there something funny about the seat tube?

It has the same seat tube that they use on the 125R frames. So you have to use a 27mm post, but it still uses a 28.6mm (1-1/8") seat clamp.

I picked this up earlier this year in a trade deal. It was in rough shape (a few layers of paint, dents, brake mounts cut-off, etc.) So I sent it to Standard and had the mounts replaced, then my brother-in-law fixed some dents and painted it the shop he works at.

Original color, Ford Dark Highland Green.

They are old Standard forks, from 1995ish.

Studs and slide hammer? If so, that's a brilliant idea.
Another note:
Also got oppo tire slides down better than regular tire slides :/

Well besides riding it for the first time in about 4 years, I recovered my seat with some unauthorized for wear flame retardant ACU's.

Installed a 33th Tree sprocket, new ODIs, Odyssey seat and re sprayed my wheels flat black. So happy about my bike now.

My friend and I put on his new Animal GLH tires and a front tube he got for Christmas and the front tube blew up and ruined the bead on the brand new tire... He was pretty pissed, haha.
