Tig Toad (Green)

[Retro_Roy]

Hi
i haven't been very active on here for awhile.
Doesn't mean i haven't been productive.
Thought i'd post this one. Traded with my buddy
rollercam to get it. I have known about it for years.
We finally were able to put a deal together.

Wishing jimbotoad a speedy recovery.

Re:

Lots of cool little details on this one. Looks like a 1990?

 

[mk one]

very nice as usual.

Paint looks in really good condition and is the replacable hanger a standard feature or added?

Re:

This Toad was restored by rollercam.
It was powder coated. I'm not a fan of powder coat.
I prefer paint. Yes, early 90's. 1990 or 1991 is safe guess.
1992? maybe? Hopefully jimbotoad will be around eventually
and will add details. The bolt on aluminum derailleur hanger
is a standard detail on the 2nd generation tig welded frames.
Although there is a fillet brazed frame about that has this feature.
Really was the wild west back then. Anything goes.
I started rooting thru the parts bin and cleaning a few bits
to personalize this one. Will post pictures when i'm finished.
