Been trying to get hold of a DBI frame for a while now to recapture my forties (used to own a Shortbus and Patriot) - big thanks to Alans who unearthed this little beauty . . .
Tried to keep it early 2000s with layback post, Primo Casket stem and Powerbites. Check out the 2.25 Max Daddy up front . . . anorexia? . . . no thanks

That snow bike is possibly the best thing I've ever seen

Deja vu FTW! Keep checking the 'bay now and then with the hope of finding another and spotted a little red Trail R Park just like my old one. Would've been rude not to so clicked buy it now without hesitation and then did a little digging. Turns out the seller was BrianP - yep, the little TRP up there
Anyway, further googling and pic analysing and I got to wondering if it may even be my old frame - sure enough it arrived safe and sound yesterday (awesome packaging Brian!)
First thing I did was check the seat stays (mine was bought new but Alan did me a deal because the rear stay clearance bends were slightly lop-sided) . . . yep! Win!!
Even still had traces of my old touch-up paint where I'd chipped paint off the BB shell hammering in the cups - ooops.
Spent this morning retouching and it's now ready to build . . .
Cheers Brian! You've made an old lady very happy!
Here's how it looked back in 2008 . . .
Planning a pretty similar build . . . looking forward to getting reaquainted

All done - just been for a shakedown ride and it's every bit as good as I remember! Pretty similar build although I'm now running Holy Rollers (those Max Daddys were hard to get rolling even then and I'm not getting any younger
). Just need to replace that noodly stem with a Casket and we're good to go

Nice thread resurrection & great story!
How cool to get your OG frame back?
[edit] oops just realised I'd posted a comment in the museum section
Will remove it in a bit

Time for an almost-Halloween throwback - 2 years on and it's still here so thought an updated pic was warranted before I try to drag my aging ass into the present with a new-school frame (watch this space). Managed to source a Primo Casket although Pro XL so too long for a shorty like me but hey the chances of finding a sub 50mm are pretty slim . . . oh and I don't usually run my seat that low - new post slipped down mid-steps
Still, riding standing-up is character building, right?
