1991 Brodie Climbmax

[jimi911]

Here's one I have had done for a while and ridden a ton during the pandemic.

It was a well traveled frameset crisscrossing the atlantic at least a couple times. It came to me via trade for an equally cool smaller climbmax that might have been posted here already.

Here she is in the UK as a built up ... I got it as a frameset.



I went with a pretty basic black and white, XT, Syncros, and Brodie bits build. It turned out nicely I think and it rides even better than it looks Only thing I might try to do is to squeeze some skinwall nobby nics on it, but its pretty perfect the way it is.

Very nice as usual.

I would be tempted to paint the crown black though

Re:

Looks good.
I think your gatorblade is a 2nd generation.
See page 92 of Paul's book.
1st generation were the curved.
