Interesting article. Then as now I do not fully understand why one would purchase a heavier part when for similar money a light part does the same job. The Suntour unit is a good bang for the buck and the Laguna is as noted above.

Not being able to zoom in on the image of Stu on the STR, is that a frame with the down tubes under the BB or ? Cool news article in any event.

Very cool! The Canoga shop sticker is a nice touch.

That is very cool of your wife!

That is well worth it to watch.

I think most of the members here do all there own work and I would encourage you to do the same if you can. If you are not mechanical now is the time to learn and there is always you tube. I would guess that the bike needs nothing more than a good detail clean up. I am a fan of it is only original once, so as you clean it be careful not to damage finishes, stickers etc. If you really want to hire the work out, you might reach out to a member here who is within driving distance of your location and work something out. Good luck!

Well that is no fun. I was on a ride this evening (in the San Fernando Valley) and saw a modern SE Big Ripper, in red and gold that was very well cared for. I made a comment to the younger rider that he had a very cool ride. he was stoked as was I seeing SE still a alive after 40 some years making riders happy. Rest well Mike Devitt. I will add well said Steve.

Moto 141, 14 novice to the gate.....followed by your Champion.....Perfect!

Just making sure you are paying attention. Awesome bike!

I like it.

Nice bike and audio gear!

Wow! Those are well done.

Nice work, much attention to detail!

Very well done which is no surprise. A question or two: 1. Why two different Mathauser pads? Was that some advanced trickery or JU using parts on hand or ? 2. I noticed that is one of the reinforced brake bridge frames. Any way to know if that was the same type that JU was racing in the magazine image? 3. If you need a place to store that build let me know, I think I could find some room.

Looking good!
