I thought I’d add my first build thread, a 19” 1990 concept seat tube Brodie Romax, serial # 1286. It’s coming a little late as I picked this one up in Sept. ‘21 and it’s nearly wrapped up but figured it would be nice to share this Brodie’s journey.
As it was described before, this bike was stored in a basement in the early 90s here in BC and appears to have seen very little use. Supposedly, there were not too many of these later Romax frames built with the concept seat tube that navigated away from their predecessors adorning the admittedly beautiful seat tube collars. As I understand, a switch in tubing to Tange Prestige may have made this possible. It came to me equipped with a nearly full and clean DX group, sprinkled with a little bit of Syncros, XT and Suntour. That being said, finding the right bits has been fun and makes this bike feel a little more personalized. Here’s a few photos as received, prior to any modifications.
Pardon the poorly cropped photo
