Early Bontrager Race OR naked frame - virtually unused.

Metallic deep purple - almost black.

15inch frame so will suit someone around 5 foot nothing to 5 foot 7.

Only a few miles since originally bought from Santa Cruz - maybe 50.

Brought from the ‘States then put into store

Twin piece rear stays. Roller for front mech.

Flat plate horizontal dropouts. Open end to wishbone tube.

Original seat clamp.

Serial number 0020 - id’d as first batch from Cannery workshop in 1991.

Absolutely no dents, dings, or tube damage.

BB threads perfect.



Defects:

Small area of paint peeling from n/s rear dropout - common on almost all the contemporary frames from the Cannery, possibly they were not degreased properly prior to painting. Photo available.

Two areas of damage to decals, small tears. Photo available.



I’ve searched for pricing and had a few discussions.

£500 plus postage seems to be about right. Text on 0770 250 5256 for photos etc. We have a frame box for posting if needed.

That’ll help a small bit (and only a small bit) with a new DH frame for the Grom.
