Sadly my Mag 21 headtube was a fraction short - they do seem to have long headtubes! Yours is looking like a meticulous build though - must be a later model than mine - the swingarm looks very different! How was it polished? I might get mine done now I've seen yours...

From the serial number I take it to be a '95 model year.
I had the polishing work done at a metal polisher/anodizer/powder coating outfit that appears to do a lot of auto parts. Typically I would do the polish myself, but considering I was getting a fresh powder coat for the front end I figured I might as well go with the works.

Yep, Critical stem and clamp. I had the clamp powdered black to match the headset that will be installed. I'm hoping to have frame and fork back together and new decals applied by the weekend. As Mr K suggested it's long over due, but I'm pretty stoked to see it finally coming together.

Hey, I know my place... I dream of being a top 5 BoTM builder! ;-)
Maybe I should start with Trek 930s and pay my dues...
