1991 Brodie climbMax Custom ... pretty cherry with Gators!

[jimi911]

Just picked up this 1991 Brodie climbMax. I actually missed out on the black one RockiMtn scored with Manitous. Pretty rare to have two early 90s Brodies show up for sale in Ontario in the same month! I broke my spending limit on a retro bike for this, but I think I still did really well. The bike is in great shape with mostly garage blemishes on it.

The bike was a custom order from Paul in 1991. It has some interesting tubing mods. All the original parts are still on it save the tyres. Its trail ready right now, with everything working perfectly, but I would like to make some cosmetic changes to it and clean it up a bit. Most of the blemishes you see on it are just mud and grease.

Very nice! I missed both brodies... oh well... I'll have to keep my eyes open for the next one... either that or strong arm both of you into selling me one of them

What size is it? Rocki's looks like it has the head tube height of a 19.5 but it's an 18 (I think)

what about yours? ...

Re:

I missed that Rocky Mtn to and that mint looking 1988 Avalanche for $50! I am batting about .200 on the amazing deals. They come up every so often, but they are tougher to snap up. There was also a $50 Klein Pinnancle last summer and a $50 1991 Explosif I just missed. There are always lower end diamondbacks, konas, etc. floating around, but a lot of those are $50-100 and than another $300-500 to get them on the trail.

This wasn't a giveaway deal, but getting a custom Brodie with Gators in this shape is tough to get. I could never of built it for what I paid for it. Probably not even find one!

This thing needs really nothing. I am going to change the tires obviously. I'll try skinwall, but blackwall may actually look better. I have a nice set of Ritchey Mega Bites that would match the other ritchey parts. Other than that, I'll tidy up the cables, put a XT 735 front derailleur on it, and swap out the Scott bars for flats. Maybe a syncros stem, but that's nit picking.
