The best retro E-Stay frame.

Re:

Very surprised we haven't seen a pic of a Funk yet!!

And if money is no object then how about a Merlin Elevator?

I’m still looking at the very subtle arc on in the paint on the backend that follows the radius of the tyre - so simple and eligant

:cool:

1991 Alpinestars bikes had stickers on the seat- and chain-stays separating the painted sections from the white center section, which follow the radius of the rear wheel, exactly like this. (It's one way of spotting a repainted Astars frame, becasue hardly anyone re-stickers them properly :p

The threads becoming a 'show us your' rather than a review on e stays.

True, But what some great pic’s never the less

Correct, everyone likes a bike photo :D

I would post a photo of the Scott Pro Evolution I had, but it most certainly was not the "best" retro e-stay frame! It rode ok, but was a bit heavy tbh.
The "best " need not be the most expensive or unobtainable though.

...what I meant a while back about the arc'd tubing. Forgot to post a pic...
