i picked this frame up less than a couple years ago. i was killing time before leaving to meet
up with the gang for our weekly evening ride by scrolling thru ebay. i happened to come across this frame
at what was a giving it away price. shipping only in usa, so i frantically sent the link to canuckbiker who
has recreational property across the line. BUY THIS FOR ME !!!! when we met up a few minutes later i asked
well??? it hadn't sold. it was mine.
the paint is in amazing condition. the reason it was sold off so cheaply was it looks as if it had a front end impact
at some point and there are ripples on the underside of the top and down tubes. barely noticeable unless looking
for them. i took the frame out to paul brodie to get his opinions on it. he loved it and said will perform just fine.
yes the geometry is tweaked a bit but all good in the riding deptment as far as i am concerned.
shortly after the frame purchase another buddy posted a goat stem on pinkbike. i got in contact with him and
got it bought. i realize the paint schemes aren't the same but was good enough for me. i had paul brodie make
me a fillet brazed fork, which i painted to match the stem red as best as possible. i decided silver components
for this build. it is a bit of an odd collection of bits but it is the look i was going for. tell me what you think.
the maiden voyage was this past weekend ride. it performed well. no hiccups. greatly enjoyed it. a welcome
addition to my stable.
here are a few pictures to start with.
