1994 Brodie Sovereign - DeKerf Paintjob

[Mortonm]

Recently acquired this by way of trade.

1994 Sovereign (18" frame, a size smaller than I normally ride). Ritchey logic tubing with prestige ultimate ultralight stays.

The frame was repainted by Chris DeKerf and hung in a Vancouver shop for years as advertisement for his custom paint jobs, at least so I have been told.

It's a beautiful frame and with my kitchen scales weighs in around 4lbs.

It is by no means done. I need to sort out the fork, maybe a threaded P2 and repaint black. Needs a longer seatpost and definitely a new stem.

It is good enough to ride now, though just around the block so far.

M900 XTR all over.

those 26 gravelkings are just perfect for riding retro bikes.

Love it.

I have a couple sets. They do really well on most terrain ither than the mucky stuff

Great score.

Weird/different color, but great score!

Deserves the full nine build treatment I reckon...

And if you ever want to part with it...

If I had a dollar for every offer on the frame I could sell it and buy another haha

I reckon M900 is full nines but I agree about the ancillary bites. Fork and stem first and foremost. Nearly winter here and the bikes will go away for skiis and snowshoes so I have some time to search.

I think the black fork looks really nice

Hahaha. Yeah, I bet!

And yeah, M900 is PERFECT.

I meant more forks, stem, bars, pedals and bits! Lol.

Can't wait to see how it ends up looking in the spring!

Yeah that's what I thought!

The little bits make the final presentation that much better
