Ohhh nice. Loving the stealthy look.

Not often you see black middleburns.

where did you get the Stem? It was my biggest bane on my Drop Bar pace build in my sig.

That'll be a '94 with that frame decal.

Looks like a nice clean build.

Cool. You don't happen to have a catalogue scan or something? Realised I made a mistake too
in the description, it's the seat stays that have the curve, the chain stays are straight.

Re:

I don't have the '94 catalogue I'm afraid.....got '93 and '95 :roll:
