I decided this bike needed some other parts. I bought a nice blue Rond fork, just to keep it dutch! And changed the brakes to red Magura's!
When I was searching ebay I came across a NOS flite saddle. When I saw it, I knew it was meant te be for the Empella!!!!! I had to have it.... and now it's mine!!
Will get some new pictures of the complete bike this weekend!!
Made some changes to the Empella! Got a Rond Quake suspension fork, because it's dutch! Not sure about the looks.... but will see how it rides..
And added some color! Still waiting for a yellow raceline Magura front brake.
Beautiful, interesting bike !!! You really went through a lot of options to get to the final build. All of them looked nice ......
Curious though..... how could you possibly not use the tri-color flite? It fit so perfectly with the frame. Did you find another need for it, or perhaps, find someone who wanted it more than you needed it?
