'95 Independent Fabrication Deluxe "Test Best"

joosttx

Retro Newbie
Hi I am selling my '95 IF Deluxe serial #IF196. It was one of the first made by IF after they broke from Fat Chance.She's a real beauty- two-tone paint job, brazed on pump peg, syncros stem. Interestingly, this bike is a test bike which means it was a demo bike. "test bike" is scripted on on side of the downtube. No real damages to the frame, some small scratches and chainsuck (pic). Some of the equipment is modern but most of it is mid 90's.

Price: $1100

here are some photos:

Sweet bike man! I grew up in Mt. Airy and learned to mtb in Fairmount Park, some nice trails very close by you're lucky. My real point though is you better stick a price on the ad or the mods will pull it.

Thanks for the compliment. Price is posted. Yes, I can and do leave from my home in Downtown Philly and ride to Fairmount park and back. Love looping City Hall at the end of my ride. It is almost surreal to be in the woods on excellent single track and then end up in the epicenter of the 5th largest city in the US.
