When James Bethea left our Team Brooklyn ATB for a factory ride with Nuke Proof I was both ecstatic for him and sad for our Team.
James hit the big time and was featured in ads and in interviews.
Always wanted a Nuke Proof but until recently the Ti wondermachines eluded me.
Then Mr. Ship posted a rather odd and different bike frame - one seen only in the NP mini-catalogue and once in the ever so soft hands of a unicorn herd owner and regular contributor to this forum.
I reconnected with James after more than 20 years and landed the unique Carbon/Ti Nuke Proof from Richard who also helped me with a few other items.
Finding NP bars and bar ends was tough.
Getting the Ti Twisters was nigh on impossible.
Plenty of Carbon and Ti hubs around and I'll be swapping the carbon version on soon.
James provided an original Team Nuke Proof skinsuit and I dedicated the build to incorporating nearly every sponsor in honor of James and his leap from sponsored local racer to the big leagues.
