Title: The postman came and i've fallen in love!!!
Post by: pickle on June 11, 2010, 05:13 PM: well i've always loved these frames and thought they are often over looked as a great design, so looking for a new race frame to build up to ride i stumbled across this on ebay, it was in germany but what the hell......i only went and won it! so it arrived today and my god it's a thing of shere beauty!!! i gave it a rub over with a cloth and just sat there for about 15 minutes looking at it in the sun! (yes i think i need medication) ;D it's a pro model so it has a 20" tt which is well ridable for me.
i've been told it's a Gen2 model from about the start of the 90's (as it has the pitbull mount) but can't make out the year from the serial number? Jai can you help?

it's a survivor but other than the odd washer mark on the dropouts it's in mint condition! hope you like as much as i do!

Post by: pickle on June 11, 2010, 05:22 PM: well i've hopefully sourced some era correct ones, but they're 1" threaded so OS legal :daumenhoch:

Looks a sweet project :daumenhoch:

Regretted selling mine to Dan diesel , especially when he did such a fine job ,repainting and building it up :4_17_5:

Post by: double chevron on June 17, 2010, 01:21 PM: Very underrated frame, still very ridable nowadays and featuring most of the SE gimmicks, that rear tube end is just genius !!!
I think I could have spent 15 minutes staring at it too :LolLolLolLol:
