Re: Bastid. Team Vomp
Got this free. Abandoned in my building missing parts. A size to small but knew it was good because of the tube set. Manager didn't. No serious restoration but rather just hobbled together a urban speed demon with various used not parts I got from here in Victoria Canada or evil bay.
It may not be a looker but, even here on Vancouver Island I get guys talking to me about it. It's the wishbone that's a dead give away of a narrow ear for RM.
Although this was a budget rebuild I did try to get good stuff on it.
The Xtr rear mech and brakes were from a friend's friend who is a manager at Kona. A good score was one of the first buys. Went to a local used bike place and went through their pile of forks and found an old Project 2 but didn't know until later that this happened to be arguably the best steel triple butted model with the splined steerer. It's a perfect match for the frame and as a bonus matches the xtr. Got the stem cheap not locally while acquiring the not Suntour thumbing and Trace Face cranks on the auction site.
Will attempt to load an image but am unfamiliar with this sites set up and am lazy and impatient Canadian.
