Backfire Ultralight Adroit...WOW

Really really nice indeed! Never seen an Ultra Light before outside of magazine tests. Notice the golden bottle cage bolts that were standard issue on the UL gruppo.
However, saddle, seatpost and tires are not correct ones.
Shouldn't be hard to get correct ones though.

Absolute corker that, very nice.
Anyone on here tempted?

In September of 1990, I had a backfire Adroit on order. They continued to tell me that they weren't sure when they would be producing them and finally in May of 1991, my shop called to cancel the order as they still had absolutely no idea when they would produce them. They had a backfire Attitude in stock and could ship it that day, so we went with that. I really wanted the Adroit, but couldn't wait.
I loved the bike, but the company as a business entity sucked. It's not surprising they couldn't make it. That said, I have nine of their bikes.

I would, but dont like grip shifts..
Yeah, I see what you mean.
And those tyres are awful.
Probably only fit for the skip that bike...
