What a find! And all because of the Ringle stem you spotted Good job!

Yeah thanks,

I actually waited a few days on this because I was busy at work and it was a bit of a drive. Kind of surprised no one picked it up in my lassitude. But I have seen this before around here (LA) it seems that everyone wants something for nothing and even a decent bike with a very reasonable price will sit on the c-list for weeks.


Probably will make a few changes because I am not a fan of suspension posts and I just can't find any love for that O2 saddle. Also I guess I will be riging up Gil for decals...


More later

Excellent excellent excellent.

Curtlo with the Action Tec front end is very much underrated. Killer frame and the suspension feel is pretty good for what it is (and how little travel it has)...and you can still get parts for it!

I regret selling mine a bit. You've got yourself a total sleeper there.

hey thanks again,

I have been very pleasantly surprised myself with the Curtlo. It tips the scale at just over 22 pound and that is with the suspension post, so I will save a bit there, Speaking of which the post seems to be an odd size 29?. Right now it has a 27.2 with a sleeve but this is causing the binder to close too much. Need to get a proper measurement but boy do I love searching for odd size posts. Other than that just need to get the brakes dialed in a bit before its maiden voyage....

Hey Thanks for that, got to admit the Tektros did seem a bit out of line with the rest of the build. Anyone recognize the skewers?

Right? 22lbs for a fillet brazed hardtail with a suspension fork and full gears. I ran mine as a single speed and it was awesome. Rode a lot like my Phoenix, which IMO is one of the best riding bikes ever made.

The seatpost size is a 28.6 (not 26.. Funky for sure, but not off the charts odd.

QR's are (respectfully) low end, though I can't pinpoint the brand.

Not to take work away from Gil, but I bet you can contact Curtlo direct and get decals.

Decals are indeed still available from Curtlo.

They will run you around $10 and great folk to deal with

Awesome bike! I'm a huge fan
