Re: Do I have you all stumped with this one? Name the Frame
Nothing Canuck about this one.
Let's add to the mystery. These were advertised and tested in MBA in 88-93.
This was a boutique builder and I don't think one has ever been posted on retrobike. There are a few looking for these bikes online but none have been found.
Lots of unknowns with this brand and I'm looking forward to info on it when someone figures it out

Re:
I am loving the dare-to-be-different details on this one.
Mark Nobilette seems to have a penchant for unusual seat stay clamp arrangements, and fits the brazed in Colorado hint, so that's my guess.
I sincerely hope to eventually own a bike built by Mark, whether this is one of his or not.

Not that ... but more on track for sure
A few more hints.
- He was a custom order builder from Fort Collins, CO. I believe MBA tested one of his later tig bikes that were more of a production thing.
- He designed and built some of the first Fat Bikes and custom welded double rims for sand and the early Iditabikes.
- I have no idea what this frame was designed for. It was certainly a custom job ... either for a hobbit or maybe a trials bike (though the BB seems low for that). Anyway, even when I post a full pick they'll be some mystery. Its super wee and cute.
- I am pretty sure he's into the whole recumbent bike thing and may have been part of some human powered speed records.
