1992 San Andreas Mountain Cycle

[yakboy]

Nice! San Andreas in silver and an early one? Cannot beat it....

Yep...still trying to work out how early it is...not one of the very first issue but probably made in '92 . If anybody can work out how to date the early frames.

Re: Re:

Yep Spud..good thing about Paul's is that they come apart easily, keeping the colours close to my chest for the time being on need to find a front mech...which may take a while...

My monies on Red - White - Blue / Rouge - Blanc - Bleu / Rot - Weiß - Blau

Without sounding camp - you have penchant for pretty bikes, with colour and sparkly bits

The frame is an mistakable US icon so has to have more than a nod to stars and bars /RWB theme - (Springsteen Born is the USA)
Therefore Paul’s/Bullseyes/Pulstar Hubs US version (not the eastern copies like I have on my Ozone)

Basically a Shimano free zone with parts from the US domestic market only

Re:

Blimey.....a bit of freaky mind reading going on there Spud...yep definately a Shimano free zone...no copies and your prediction of the theme is spot on...some of the parts will be a real challenge to find (but isn't that the fun ) and also resisting the temptation of not going overboard with the bling.

What shifters are on the shopping list ?

Not sure yet...trawling through my old copies of MBA from 1992-1993 to get inspiration.

Not quite!

I've said to a number of people before, I find it fascinating that no-one builds bikes the way others would build them. You and I obviously love the same bikes, but with respect, I don't like the way you do them. Lovely builds, don't get me wrong, your attention to detail and quality is fantastic, but not the way I'd do them at all.

Please don't take that as a negative comment in any way, it's just an observation on how different everyones taste is.
