Dekerf Team SL build and Q’s

[d8mok]

Not sure if there is any love for them on here as I haven’t seen many threads but I Picked up a Dekerf Team SL recently as I’d been fancying a high end steel frame for a while.

I believe it’s a 97 , does anyone know the paint code for the red which Dekerf used back then?

Not entirely sure how I’ll build it as I’d like some rigid Dekerf forks but they seem rare.

I think there is love and a bit of awe but they're pretty rare beasts. Please post photos!

It's basically scrap. Send it to me for waste disposal. I'll even pay for shipping.

I’ll grab pics later as it’s now stripped to a frame whilst I decide how to build it. It came pretty well spec’d to be fair but needs some bits changing around.

Omg yes all the love for a handbuilt steel frame from a Canadian master!

Dekerfs have a signature style on the seat stays. Do you have pictures of yours?

 

[raidan73]

I expect Chris D will be able to tell you. He's active on social media

 

[d8mok]

So this is how it was collected

 

[raidan73]

That was a bargain that

Nice score

Plenty of threads about them on here, and here are a couple to start you off, lots of useful info

So what's the story with Dekerf?

Don't worry, this isn't one of those 'I hate 'em so everyone else should' threads! :roll: Thing is, until I came on here I can't remember ever hearing about them. My golden era for mtb's was '88 to '94 and it's not a name that registers from back then. They obviously have a large fan club...

Let's see some Dekerfs..

Show us them, let's see them, get them out... Post your Dekerf pics here. Especially interested in any Dekerf Prodigy pics as I quite fancy a Dekerf road bike. Sorry if a Dekerf thread has already been posted. :)
