Slooooow progress. I almost quit on it. The search for a fork was a pain, until I got a message from someone on IG that had an original one. It arrived … unfortunately just a hair too short and I was already having trouble with the paint chipping easily so I didn’t want to face down the frame. Took forever to get it lengthened until I found Mark Beaver (Tamerack in Nova Scotia). He’s been a major help on a lot of my stalled projects in need of the torch.

Anyway … shouldn’t be too long now.

Now that´s rare, vintage, classic. Wow.

Another one on ebay:

Cook Designs Mountain Bike Frame -- Limited Edition, Mt. Palomar | eBay

The two-tone paint is clear-coated to protect the transfers and give an overall professional quality look. An up or down-pull front derailleur can be fitted. The down pull was popular in the late 80’s.

Apparently my definition of “won’t be long” is weak …

…but worth the wait.

Nice! This reminds me a half-ECS Cook Bros frame that was for sale on eBay some time ago. Don't remember the model name.
