1993-94 3D Racing Rover

[ridevintagemtb]

No surprise here. I am a huge fan of Chris Herting's work, both as a founding partner with Yeti and as a framebuilder under his own brand, 3D Racing Bikes. This frame came up locally and I jumped. It's been through a couple versions of the build, including a complete "catalog" bike. This is how it currently sits. The trained eye can see a lot of Yeti ARC-esque frame details, but also a lot of progressive moves away from the troublesome areas such as the seat clamp pinch bolt. A solid mid-nineties race bike.

Re:

Great use of a Cannondale fork, always liked Mr Hertings work. Is it a 7005 frame like the ARC?
