IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE? - MY 1996 WORLD CUP WINNING RETRO BIKE BUILD - EP 1 - ROB WARNER

I've never been a huge fan of keeping old bikes, but I knew if I was ever going to do a retro bike build, it had to be a good one.
Some say it was the most iconic moment in the history of mountain biking, a pivotal moment for the sport. Of course, i'm talking about my iconic World Cup victory in Kaprun, 1996.
Watch as I delve into my dad's museum to find my world cup winning Giant ATX990 frame and start to plan how i'm going to take on the ultimate retro bike build.
Can I even find all the parts to complete this build? I still don't know the answer to that! Make sure to subscribe to find out as we'll keep them coming until she's done.
Enjoy,
Rob

Would be really funny and entertaining. Someone TV exec should pick him up. And if they do, it's my idea 👍
