Santa was very good to me this year, and brought me the worlds last toad to ever be made thanks to my dear friend Chris DeKerf of https://dekerf.com/ and with the kind blessings from Rod Kirkham the original owner of Toad Bikes. Chris pulled out his original plans from his tickle trunk and blew the years of dust off them to build me a fully fillet brazed 30th anniversary edition OR TOAD mountain bike!
It was created to the original specs based on the last ones made back in 1994. He did a few tasteful upgrades including one-of Titanium dropouts, a slight width increase to allow for a wider tire, a fillet brazed DK stem and a DK Signature Titanium Bull moose wide glide handle bars, Accutrax fork, Chris King headset, larger 7mm cable routing. This is the last vintage 90's hand built fully fillet brazed 26” Toad 
that will ever be made by the original welder. (Thank you Chris and Rod!) I am thinking about the build, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2025 to all fellow vintage MTB lovers and fellow Toad bike owners. Best wishes JIM
