Just scored an awesome Bontrager Road Lite that I am going to build up…been looking for some time. SO STOKED!
Questions:
-I've seen 2 different iterations of the wishbone stays. The very elegant style, like my frame, and the style more typical to the MTB Race Lites (a simpler radiused wishbone). When were these designs made and what year do you think this frame is? It also has the slotless cable stops, pump peg and "old style" dropouts which suggest '95 or earlier??? Don't have the serial # yet, as it is still in transit to me.
-I'm under the impression that the frame is made from True Temper OX-III. Is that right?
-I'm on the prowl for an original Tange Sillhouette fork OR a modern threadless carbon fork (1", 40mm rake). If you have either available, PM me
Can't wait to build it up. I majorly regret selling my pewter '93 Race Lite I purchased from Keith in SC, but this will help ease the pain. Gonna go modern with this build, but the fork situation is a major hold up. Too bad ENVE does't make a 1" option.
