Rob's Kaprun; 96 Downhill World Cup winning Bike Gets Completed! 

his old man telling him he's got most of the old parts for it at the end made me piss great video

Yeh. Nice one dad…fuck sake 😂

Rob Warner doing F1 commentary would be the fucking greatest

Yep, dad steals it again.

It would be cool if you took a pilgrimage to Kaprun with that bike. It would make for a killer vlog.

You should take it back to Kaprun and do a run!

Surely you and Peaty can have a retro bike reunion?

Gonna boil some eggs whilst I wait 😅

No excuse for not giving it a rag about now that you know you have a box of spares! Thanks for sharing all the old race footage. Right from when I was just getting into the sport.

Great video Rob! Good to see the old ATX up and running. Headset cap and the headtube badge are from Giant. Frames were made at Kastan to meet the racing season deadline.

Your Dad, fucking brilliant!

I’d take Rob over Crofty anytime

Rob, what an amazing build the bike is beautiful. I still have my ‘96 ATX 970 in the John Tomac colors (yellow and purple) it’s a cromoly frame and my wife has a ‘97 ATX 970 with an alloy frame (off white and polished aluminum). They were good bikes back in the day. I’m glad to see that you’ve resurrected the bike that you won on. I can’t wait to see you ride it. I took mine for a ride a couple years ago off rode and it scared the shit out of me but it did it and wanted more. I’m waiting for my knee replacement to heal up so I can get back riding. I currently ride a 2020 Giant Trance and my wife is on a 2022 Liv Intrigue. I will truly miss your commentary for UCI, you are a legend of the sport and all of us have so much to thank you for!

FINALLY this rebuild is finished! Been wondering what happened to the project. lol

What a lovley guy your Dad is 🙂 and he had all the parts, epic 😂😂😂😂

Hey Rob Warner! I hope the parts you bought to replace the ones your dad had hidden in the shed were very expensive! Ride ride ride!

I rode your atx 1 dh at bike 1998 at the nec they had a bit of dirt set up next to the giant team truck was soo cool and later you jumped off the truck into a tiny dirt landing was brilliant to watch! haha

Love it rob ,when i was a kid and didn't know any better my mate robbed the team van for 2 x atx1s and 2 990s the police took it off me a year later !! Sorry if that put you back on training, not my fault!and you still had a win after ! However owning a bike i could never afford gave me a passion for mtb ,and since then i have bought 2 legitimate dh 1s ,my 17 yo son is restoring one right now so the passion lives on, so some good did come out of it in the end ,! Aswell as my insane bike skills ,never sold a bike since and got 20 od now in the loft !!

F1 commentary Is a bit dead these days, you can defo bring back the excitement and passion Murray Walker had and make f1 fun to watch again

Will it rain though?

All hail the egg. Like or subscribe. Look at the time.

Looking up who was the first uk DH World champion bought me here . Someone ( speaker from the edge ) on fb says it was Gee.. but I knew better .

How long till he breaks it. My bets are on for around 2 minutes 😆

How's that rear disc brake mount! Cool Dad. F1 commentary? Yes please...

I wrapped electrical tape around my DCD roller. Had the same effect of preventing 'ruts' appearing in the roller

Nicholsons now Cycle life used to sell your peddles £60 think i was for mine all them years ago! I stay in Scotland they were brilliant peddles i had the DCD without it my chain wouldn't stay on when jumping it! Then ended up getting the guides that went on the back of the crank with the 2 wheels with the teeth basically a rear shifter wheel was it!? worked though and Tioga Tyres were the Damage lol

Bloody brilliant, glad you got it finished. Jamie’s a top bloke. Your Dad at the end with your parts stash 🤣 Please take it back to do a run at Kaprun

Legendary forks, I’ve got 97 bomber Z1s on my old Chameleon they still ride great today

Lol @ His dad at the end haha!

I went looking for that bronze statue but all I found was this huge statue with a tiny c... a bit like the statue of David. The engraved plaque never lies though.

I got calluses on my shins because of pedals like those 😂 Oh man, the old Tioga Control saddle with the ballbag scoop on the front

Actually happy to hear you love it again! The last video's of you calling everything under the sun yeah ok but it was a good bike back then and its great to see you back with your bike and the long hair was that grown to go with the final video? Lol good though man good to see it back in a usable state!

I've got scars all over my shins from pedals taking bites out of them.

Quality, now is Mr Warner Snr would like to shift that box of spare parts, hit me up in the DMs 😉

Omg that ending! Your dad is brilliant. Nice work Jamie and glad you got misty eyed over it eventually Rob! I've got an old ATX one in my house because of those nostalgic feelings.

Square Taper BB, always bending !! 😂

I have some of the Rob Warner pedals, brand new in the box still.

I may be wrong. But is this the bike you won the world cup ?

Haha the ending, old dads are great. You were part of the pioneers of the sport, the days when i got into mtb. If it wasn't for you, Peaty and Jason i dunno what i'd be doing with my life, so thanks for inspiring me and many others to take up this amazing sport

Not F1, motogp commentary, F1 is boring

Great bike. What an ending. Yer dad's a legend

Haha. All that searching for parts and your old man has them all in a box at home.

the comments section has ruled, Robs old man is a top fella

Been waiting for this follow up for a long ol time

Just spat my coffee out at his Dad’s comment at the end 😅

Rob.... where do I get that hat? Can't find it anywhere

i mean its not the atx one😋 Glad to see you got it done, looks great, cant put a price on memories eh

Now it’s time to do a video on all the bits in the old fellas attic then!

What’s the history behind this bike? 😂

Your old man is awesome

Did you win a World Cup Rob?

Haha the old boy made the video 😂

Classic love this video especially his dad at the end 😂

“I won’t mention it again” 😂😂

What world cup was it again???? Brings back memories of Chainspotting

Proper cool . Great to see the bike restored. Ive just restored my 2000 Cove Stiffee. Managed to find brand new old stock Tioga Factory XC tires . The hardest part was sorting out the ancient seized Hope C2 brakes,,, The seals and parts such as pistons were a pig to source!... I should have contacted your dad!!! PS I will never stop being grateful for you and your encouragement at the Redbull 24 hour at Sandwell Valley where you took me under your wing clearly seeing I had sunstroke and sitting with me under a tree chucking pine cones at riders coming past whilst you were vlogging (was that a thing then?). We even came over the finish line together after you making sure we hid around the last bend so we did not have to go round again before the time elapsed. Always grateful and happy memories spending time with one of my cycling heroes. Love your videos.. Never grow up dude!!

Those brakes! The twisty top adjustment was really good: best ever 🎉 Thanks Rob. Enjoy the story as often as you can. We might even believe it’s true one day 😂 PS: Dad’s are “The Best!!!”

Just here to say I'm gutted we won't have you on the MTB commentary. End of an era. Papa Warner is absolute gold too.

Your dads amazing man! Wanted to see you as you were before back in the day it probably made is day seeing you complete it all again! After saying he has all the part's thats brilliant what a dad! I lost mine 21 years ago just before i turned 18 but was always at the bike comps etc with me before that!

oh Carterton, you posh bugger! Wow of all the places you visit, I never thought I would see you in Carterton hahaha

Still using a pair of 321s. Great rims. And got a pair of thiose brakes with the torsion arm thing somewhere.

Your old man, classic! Love the build, remember reading about your win in those pre-www days.

Kaprun 96 baby

i still have the scars from my RW pedals, used to ride trials on them.

Rob, nice video to close that off and would be good to run back to back with your Glory. You looked genuinely pleased towards the end (even if you didn't at the beginning 😂). Makes me want to get my ATX 990 out of storage now...👍

I've only just read that Rob has been inducted into the mountain bike hall of fame! About time too, you absolute leg end!

Class ✊🏼

Legend😂

Haaa ha ha, brilliant… best ending ever!… dad coming out with having all the old tatt, really cracked me

Fuck yea, nice. So glad to hear you like it and it brings you good memories! Your old man stealing the show at the end was fantastic too

Was that correct, Rob Warner won at kaprun in 1996 !

I will always remember the image from the broadcast where Rob is seen inside the commentary room naked in his boxers and a mug 🤣🤣

Rob we need you for Isle Of Man TT commentary 🤟

I love my old shit, I miss my lts 1. tell you what though rob that made smile from start to finish!!!!

i remember watching this bike going up against pro flex 👀 still amazing well built bikes.

"96, check the weather forecast" 👌🤣🤣🤣

All the bits for the the ATX 1 you say….🤔😎

Love that!! I always wanted an atx1 dh when I was younger and I even got into a bidding war on eBay upto nearly a bag of sand about a year ago.

Ive been waiting forever to see this completed!

Love the improvised workshop apron!

I would love to see how a bike like that would cope with a modern track. I like to think it would do it in half the time with zero mechanicals. Man and Machine !

Ah man, the chat with your dad at the end had me laughing my head off! 😂

Great, we need more of Rob's Dad dishing the dirt lol

Rob, your dad is epic…😂😂😂😂😂

Good effort, now send it down a black run

I sense a build v2.1 w' dad's found bits

THIS made my day !!! Aawesome. Greetings from Norway ,Stefan :)

brilliant so glad its finished

What an ending haha, brilliant. Cheers

I had that stem and chain guide 😂 Great walk down memory lane! Cheers mate

Dad knows best Rob

Top Dad!

Finally!

CLASS

Brilliant

How long before this “fully restored barn find icon survivor” makes it onto eBay?

You'll have to put the original parts on it now lol :)

Love a bit of nostalgia
