Devout Dirtbag
[attachment=4]IMG_0372_picmonkeyed.JPG[/attachment][attachment=3]IMG_0373_picmonkeyed.JPG[/attachment]I picked up this frame without knowing anything about it other than it was my size. From what I could find out on the internet Coble was a framebuilder in California. This appears it was custom built for someone who was a national champion as the decal on the seatube indicates. Nice lugs with cutouts and Columbus Neuron tubing , very light. When I got the frame it came with a superlight carbon fork that had the wrong rake and made it steer very slowly. I don't know what happened to the original fork but I found a nice 1 in threadless steel Ritchey that works great. Not sure or the year, top tube cable guides would suggest early 90's at the latest but I don't think Neuron tubing came around till maybe 95?. Bike rides like a dream and is pretty light at 8.2 kilos.
