I loved the look of these back when. Why did they make them from Play Dough?

Are my eyes playing tricks or has the head tube got a collar on it too?

Yes, it IS cracked.....I repeat IS cracked :cry: Amazing how many people have been emailing asking that very question, lol.

For the repair, I would suggest looking into HTS-735 brazing rods. This may be old news to some of the members on here, but I just saw it for the first time and it was pretty damn amazing! A snapped dropout on a 7000-series aluminum frame was good as new in about 20 minutes....just a brazing rod and a propane torch. There are lots of videos online about it, very very cool stuff.

Anyone on here have any experience using it?

It'll be 1 1/4

If it's a 93 then it'll be black legged Manitou 3's on the rear...can't see properly from the photo
