Very, very, very nice. I had the same handlebars on my Fuquay and Yo Eddy, excellent, and one of the first wideish bars.
 
Very nice. Brodies are absolutely among my favourite bikes. Pretty much on top the shortlist.
 
What year did the first Turbine LPs appear? I thought it was '94 - I can't help feeling that the first gen. Turbines (with clover-leaf spider) would suit it better...
And what happened to the Brodie bars?
 
DAMN looks exactly like my 1990/91 Catalyst I used to own in 1991/92 except mine was the Emerald Green color. Man I paid $800 CDN for the frame back then and was the only Catalyst in my area (Kamloops British Columbia) at the time. Ahhh the memories.
