1991 Brodie Climbmax

Re:

You could also do the powder coat route for about $150ish at Quys. Makes it pretty again, but not so pricy you can't enjoy it on the trail.

Side note: Roy, the owner of the romax came and picked it up No serial number info unless I see it on the trail (and no romax for me).

Re:

Must have been one of the last ones with the 1" head tube John. My old Sovereign was built December 1990 and was one of the first to have 1 1/8" head tube.
Looking forward to seeing your progress

Yeah thats going to be the hold up right now. I have a bunch of forks on hand, a P2, tange struts and a beat up set of mag21's ALL 1 1/8!! :facepalm: unless I get a rebuild kit for the M2's...at least the winter is coming so i've got some time to source a good match and get it finished..

ha ha sorry about that one. old habits die hard. :facepalm:
looks like a good rider to me. i'd save my money and wouldn't paint.
but i hear ya on the black though. paint it red and white.

Just re-read your Brodie...DONE thread Roy..red and white..HMMM..and throw in a maple leaf fade ala rocky mountain..got the wheels turning now

Re:

so been thinking about just stripping the frame and (thanks to Roy for ideas, I stole your pic) going for this paint with a solid red P2 up front...

Re:

I don't think I've ever seen a Brodie in the flesh... but always think they're very elegant and sound like top quality frames. Do love the Gatorblade.
Nice paint on that one:
multicolour (check)
bit of splatter (check)
harlequin content (check)
fades (uh-oh... a missed opportunity on the top and downtubes)
