My 1990's Nuke Proof

[jbsteven]

Not exactly sure what year this is but I'm guessing the frame is a 1992/3/4. Built this up with some retro parts and a few modern ones I like as well. I might change a few small things here or there but for the most part this is the way it will stay.

Looking good. Looks like it was made by Litespeed, so I guess the date must be about right.

Cool stem too. The kind of stem that, if you can find one, you really need to buy it a matching bike.

Weight came in at 20 lbs. 13 ozs.

On bb

23-500

Also a DX stamped on bb. I believe it is the second earliest serial number that I have seen.

My other NP frame doesn't have a serial number. Probably a employee bike and it is the different frame where the seat stays are welded and joined higher on the seat tube.

Awesome build!

I love the look of the Sweet wings on it.

yeah, I know but I had to use it since I had it laying around. I have a couple NP handlebars but the Kooka levers would not slide on them. I might swap a set of NP hubbed wheels on it at some point but I'm diggin' the polished King hubs.
