This was a recent MBA article Roy shared with me, big pdf file, I found a way to make some decent screen shots, pretty cool throwback article along with a bit on @Jim26 's 30th anniversary Toad frame, pretty cool

thanks for adding this. it is unfortunate that the toad history given isn't the entire history. it stops at the `2nd generation'
tig welded toads. didn't mention possibly the least common 3rd generation welded by toby schillinger. he is also in vancouver.
a master builder in his own right and the man behind his personal brand UFO. the 3rd gen are never seen. i think adrian has/ had one.
other than that jimbotoad is the only other lucky s.o.b. to own one or two of them that i know.

Thread '1993 Off-Road Team Toad'

Jan 27, 2020

A little over two and a half years ago a friend, and fellow vintage bike geek, put me in touch with someone who had a Toad that he was willing to let go, for the right price. For those who know, extracting a Toad from Canada is no easy task, if you can even find one. Given the choice I would go for an earlier model but beggars can't be choosers. Introductions were made, photo's were shared, questions were answered and the price was agreed. These Team Toads were built by Chris Dekerf and, allegedly, only five were made in this smaller 16" size. Here's the first pic I took when it arrived...

@Retro_Roy i always wanted your orange one with the bontrager fork,...

 

[Retro_Roy]

the orange one with the white bonty fork pictured on page 3 in this thread?
that one is long gone from my collection. it was a bit too small for me.

Roy I’ll take any other ones that are too small off your hands
