Lately I have been on a mission to rebuild the bikes I rode back in the day. The first bike to get the treatment was my S&M Bennett. I rode a Bennett in the early 2000's and really liked it. My original build was close but just didnt feel the same so I decided to go all out and build it exactly like mine was back then. Here are a few snaps of the bike from that era.









I rode it for about 4 years, and over that time changed out parts from time to time. The build as it stands now is exactly how I built it when I first got it though. Thanks to all the folks on here who helped me track down parts.  :daumenhoch:

The new build spec is as follows:
Frame: S&M Bennett
Fork: S&M Pitch Fork
Bars: S&M Slam Bars
Headset: Solid Bikes Headset
Stem: S&M Challenger (1st Gen)
Levers: Dia Compe Tech 77
Rear Brake: AD 990
Girps: ODI longneck
Seat Clamp: DK 2 bolt
Seat Post: Primo Rod
Seat: Primo Hemroid
Cranks: Profile racing
Sprocket: Profile Whippet 44t
Pedals: Primo Tenderizers
Chain: KMC Z
Wheels: Hoffman Gack High rollers
Tyres: Tioga comp III / Primo V Monster

I swapped between an imperial, Whippet, and toward the end and S&M chainwheel when I got some 1st gen profile wheels. I also swapped between the challenger stem and a Redneck all the time as well. The build is how I first built it up but unfortunately cant find any pics of it exactly like that.  :daumenhoch:
