Thanks! This has been my retro trail bike this year. I probably should enter it in this months BoTM, but I only have the one shot of it on the trail. It'll be out next week ... All roadie this weekend. Yawn.
The Avids are great. Tons of stopping power. [So far] my favourite canti brake system. New KoolStops and new Mavic make them even better.

That's what I like to hear! Yeah baby! I've been looking for Graftons, but everything I have read about the Avids has been stellar. Thanks Pro's Closet!
You'd have a good shot at BOTM with this build, nice to see such a potent paint choice, wowza!

Graftons are a tough find. $$$$y to! Diacompe 987s are the best value IMO. Not a lot of love for them, but they are a great brake. They'll likely be on my 1994 Soveriegn when I get going on that.
Great competition for BoTM. I'm always a bridesmaid (or ugly cousin) in those things. All good fun though.

That's a 19" Brodie. I find the fit good with the rockshoxs. That's a long travel mag21 so it's longer than a normal one. With the extra kick everything fits well. I'm 5-11 on a good day. My other two Brodie's are rigid and 18". This one fits the best to ride hard, but that may be more the geometry adjustment of the longer fork.
I have a 19" Blizzard I redid. Same top tube length ... It's a bit too big. Odd. It's been sitting in the wall for months.
