only room on this forum for one Badlander...

Its gonna take some work to get to that condition, plus of course some elusive correct forks!!

That is a good looking bike though!!

i wonder what one powdered up in a nice colour would look like

Top bike, much under rated.

Top notch build quality. Nice and long. Good quality chrome.

If you think you are gonna find some forks then think again. And if any do appear on the bay, then be prepared to bid cos i want another set.

Are those forks the same as the race forks?

ORB · « **Reply #7 on:** October 18, 2005, 10:33 AM »

Nope, a tiny bit fatter and a different rake.

dordymush · « **Reply #8 on:** October 18, 2005, 10:34 AM »

but not that much different then

A bunch of these appeared in the early to mid 90s, I seem to remember. I'm sure I saw a few around at comps and riding spots.
Maybe there's another buried batch somewhere.

If you got through the early to mid 90's Ride mags, there were millions of em.

Odd, where did they go?

Its like the CC prolite, where are they all, there were millions of them too.

I remember the bike test on a white one with araya aeros pn it .My mate Jase bought one and i sprayed it Ford Rosso Red for him as i remeber they came un painted for £30 a pop.

I`ve gotta say I was fat then and found the seat tube a little short but definatly a nicely made frame and fork set
