Picked this up recently in trade with Alan Bonds - crappy cell phone pic from my 6/5 ride (yes that's Mt Tam in background).

"Bluebird" a 40-41 DX curved downtube with NOS Union drums and all the to kill for bits.

full details from Alan's site

That is very cool, especially like the drum brakes. How do they fare on a descent of mt Tam?

BTW with a name like tam shadow you could be from Glasgow

These drums can lock the front on the hill, even with the tiny Weinmann levers - Gary Fisher's record run was on an very similar setup.

52:31, and it shifts cleanly - Suntour Winner-6 wide ratio (13-32) cogs in back.

Not so nice to the bank account LOL but yeah, he's a great guy and sorely missed since he moved off to AZ. We chat every week or so, he's still riding up a storm and has another cool bike in build.
