There it was, hidden behind a nondescript old Rocky Mountain Fusion and some other old machine. A strange green fillet brazed frame with vintage components. I didn't know what it was, but I knew it was something unusual. Upon close inspection, I found that the down tube had sun faded decals which once read "OFF ROAD TOAD".
I couldn't believe it! A TOAD! A F*ckin' TOAD!
Even though it was too small for me, I bought it without hesitation. Who would pass up a TOAD? Few have ever been seen in captivity, let alone on the open market(and at a price that was almost free). So now I own a TOAD. It's not in mint condition, but it isn't terrible either. The parts are not interesting, and may not even be original(not all of them anyway), but the frame is fine(original paint, three digit serial number) and the fork might be original too, although it's color suggests otherwise. I will post photos later. I posted some here:

It will likely go up for sale, since I do not like to keep frames that I cannot ride.
