Old School Grand Master
Due to my spotting something rare and lush, this frame is up for sale for the bargain price of £260 inc UK postage.
True Temper OX platinum throughout, fillet brazed by the legendary Doug Curtis up in the back of beyond of Washington State, this frame builds into an XC bike that twists and turns, climbs and drops though the woods like a squirrel with a Scotch bonnet suppository.
The frame is big, 21" seat tube, c-t and 23.25" top tube, c-c actual, 24" effective. 1 1/8" head tube and 27.2mm (with shim) seat tube. There are two sets of bottle mounts, rack mounts and a pump peg for a proper size pump.( I wish I had a big pump with me on Sunday; I came across two roadies trying to w*nk a skinny tube into firmness with a space age pocket pump. I asked if they needed help. They told me to f*ck off! Nice! I could have waved a 24incher at them and done just that!).
The previous owner painted a red panel over the down tube decals in a bid to disguise the bike. Some of this has been removed, and it should be possible to T-cut the powderoat back to a shine, though there are a few rub marks and scratches so a new colour scheme might be in order. There are no dents, rust or other nasties though! The frame is solid and straight!
