another one built for someone else, found NOS frameset on ebay few other cool NOS bits made this little beauty which admittedly is a very similar spec to the Pine Mountain I built last year mainly because when ever I find any parts I like I try to wangle a better deal for buying in bulk so the all important spec list:
