this what i have been told is possibly a prototype for the rocky mountain cirrus and/or experience. rocky used to squirrel away a bunch of stuff like this bitd and occasionally have a clearance sale to get rid of it. my buddy BC bought this from a guy who purchased it at one of those sales...

i will start off by thanking warhorse for giving me the opportunity to acquire this one. warhorse found this one as a derelict in a pile of bikes on a local craigslist ad. thanks to his keen eye it was saved. fans of paul brodie may know he built 113 frames while working at rocky mountain...

I picked up this project frame at our swap meet this past sunday. Couldn't pass it up. It appears to be a very early one. Has had a hard life. Was raced and crashed, damaged and a crappy repair done. But has since been built and ridden without issues. Has u brake bosses (my favorite) and what...

Does anyone know exact year mafac went bankrupt and acs bought in, rebranded and continued selling their cantilever brakes? All I have found is somewhere in later 1980's. thanks

Hi I picked this up in the summer. This one is serial number #019. Made by Paul Brodie around October 1984. It spent most of it's life in Arizona going back and forth from winter getaway to coffee shop by snow bird owners. I might change a few more bits on it. Trying this configuration on for size.

Anyone have one of these kicking about not needed? The little barrel thingy shown in attached picture. Thanks

Looks like summer has finally arrived in my area. Hope everyone is getting out and enjoying it. This past weekend. Where did you go?

Thought i'd get this thread started.

I hope the moderators will cut me some slack on posting this one here. I feel this is where it will be most appreciated. This journey started the fall of 2020 at our annual swap meet. Paul Brodie was there with a display of wares. One being the romax he was building for himself. Most brodie...

I managed to get this one out for a few pictures the other day.

Finished this one off recently. Time to show a bit more of my poor camera skills.
