DEAn cycles pre-production prototype full susp aluminum

[Coquitlam Geoff]

Hi Guys I decided I would like to move this along to any Dean Cycles collectors out there. I have a 95/96 18" frame aluminum full suspension bike up for grabs. When I bought the frame 3 years ago, i contacted Dean Cycles with pics and they verified that they designed the bike and had RedLine Bikes in CA fabricate it. As Dean is known for their Ti bikes, an aluminum frame is a bit of an oddity (and rare). There is no serial number (as expected), beautiful welds and nice gusset on the seat tube/down tube post at the BB. I built it up with NOS LX and XT. It has an AMP Research rear triangle and to make this a sweet deal, I will negotiate into the price a threaded 1 1/8" AMP research front fork. I will also add the Dean stem and BB. It rides wonderfully, very light. You will also get the 2 rear shocks (spares as I have no use for them). It would be a great bike to add a nice vintage Riesse air shock
Pricing this beauty is tricky as it's a one-off. I will unleash it from the bike shed, as it seldom sees any riding (sadness). I am more of a steel guy...lol 4 brodies and several Dekerfs/RM's/Kona/Rock Lobster...
I will post pics shortly but the price would be for frame/fork with stem and bb, 2 spare rear shocks added. Shipping would be from Vancouver via Global Express if you are the UK and around 180 GBP
I would think price would be around 475 GBP

please note that the AMP fork is not shown in this photo. It is a Concept USA 6" steer tube threaded AMP fork
I will throw in the NOS vinatge Raceface XY seat post as well, worth around $60 alone
