Early Brazed Bontrager CX with original fork (sold)

[Dr S]

Well size is about right for me Rob. Very tempted. Could you tell me more about the ding in the top tube??

I bought this off of a girl in NYC who had it on Craigslist. She had a vague description about it being a mid nineties Bontrager. I went and saw it and bought it on the spot. She had purchased it from a shop in Colorado and "put it together" as a commuter. She decided she only needed one bike (a rather nice Ritchey soft tail that she thought was made of aluminum :shock: ) so she sold this on to me. It really was a bit compact for my size so I sent it on to Rob. It's life prior to her buying it is a mystery. I asked her about the ding in the fame and she looked at it and couldn't recall if she had done it or if she had bought it that way . :roll:

Can I borrow it to do some single speed cross on? Please?

Thanks Atom. If I keep it, you are more than welcome to borrow it, though I can't imagine how you will fit it. I really wish I could keep it, but once I tell you about the other two bikes that are on the way, you'll understand why this one had to go

Better than tell you, I'll take pics from different angles, and place a couple objects by it to give you a point of reference.

sorry for the delay...pics coming any day now

 

[GoldenEraMTB]

Si and anyone else that's interested, my apologies for the delay. It's been a hectic couple weeks, I'll have it up shortly. Thanks

Sweet...pics?

Soon, hopefully. It's still in transit.

The fork showed up today. I haven't snapped any pics but there are a few in the auction listing:

You can probably guess what the seller's initials stand for.

ooo that CX is gorgeous!

Know Si will do it justice if it comes his way. With the build I mean, I'm not suggesting I find Si equally gorgeous... :?

I'm going to get it either painted or powdercoated, but I'm holding off until I find the right frame to put it on (either a Bonty or something brazed).

I won another unique Bontrager fork at the same time. It's already got paint on it but could probably use a respray:

It's incredibly light. I'll probably put it on one of my Braves (which both have beefy Tange Big Forks).
