SERIOUSLY early hardtail resto project (1893, not 1993).

[breezerboy]

Anyone got an earlier one?

Ok, so it's only got about 1/2" travel on the forks, but it's a headshock(ish) rather than telescopic or linkage.

And people think 29ers are new, this has 29" rear wheel and 31" front. Anyone out there got tyres?

Should be up and running next year, but I'll keep to the fireroads on this one.

That saddle looks like it could do you some damage...

 

[orange71]

is that an early brooks saddle?

 

[mh1000]

cool. see if you can get some ultra high end bit on it somewhere for a laugh

have you got a suitable chain? that chainring pattern looks fairly non standard to say the least!

 

[terryhfs]

Heh, Put some tri-bars on it. That'll look cool.
