Tis' the season - this is sorta the Brodie no one wanted.
I have been building this a tad in secret. It's been on a few FB groups I frequent and my Instagram but nothing here ... Probably because I'm a little embarrassed my 89 blizzard isn't done.
It's a 1994 Brodie Sovereign. One of the last built with gator geometry. Thanks RockiMtn for the sovereign decals.
You may recognize it. It was in here as one of those cool finds that someone tossed a bunch of $$$ at and than lost interest I guess. It went to shutter. I was buying a pile of stuff off him and he offered me this for an insanely low price. I mean cheap!!! I felt sorry for it ... It deserved a new life.
Of course I had the key ingredients in my parts hoard:
I know ... Another white and black bike, but I take em as they come
The frame was painted by Toxic Harold in BC so I had him do the stem and gator legs to match:
Great service from Harold and thanks Gil for the decals
That got me to here - NOS XT730 post and raceface headset
NOS Paul levers and XT 732 thumbs. Brodie bar. I had the clamp re-anno'ed black and tossed a bunch of black Ti at it. Brodie braces, NOS diacompe 987s, and a NOS ringle/mavic 231/smoke and dart wheelset. I tried more of the black on white look but it was too harsh so I softened it with silver. NOS 735 RD on the back.
And now you are caught up. I'm stalled now. Bloody DHL and Canada post managed to loose a huge building bits order I made in October and all my builds are are halted as a result ... Ugh.
