hey all, my unicorn is a 87 fisher pro caliber as that's what I rode when I raced for fisher.
I cant afford one of those so im building a tribute bike to use as my daily commuter. im into stretch cruisers and have a build that's taking all of my spare money so this build is going to be on the cheap.
I started with a frame and forks its a 1990 montare frame with unknown forks kindly karma'd to me by a member also with a stem and headset as they are inch and 1/4.
the frame came in etch primer and grey primer so I have rubbed it down and given it a white primer and then the old team colours, all Halfords rattlecan but the result is quite a bit better than id hoped and will be even better when I cut it and clearcoat it.
Ive got a set of ritchey rims on lx hubs, a nos pair of xt thumbies with the hidden 8th, a nos xt 7 speed cassette, xt front and rear mech,s deore v brakes (for function not form im afraid) and I have managed to source a nos bb axle (some will know these are rarer than rocking horse hens teeth poop). I will post pics up as I build it. its no garage queen and im not going to try and pretend its a pro cal but its just my tribute to it.
