Silverfish 1991 Funk

[Silverfish]

Defo a repaint but a very beautiful one! Congrats! Looking forward to the build.

BTW ... not sure with the Varilite decal for 1991.

Thank you. Varilite decal is almost definitely an addition.
We think it's a 91. It was bought as a 91 - sold as a 91 - bought as a 91 - but nobody really knows for sure

I think it was Astral that was the negative of Dolomiti, right?

Could be! One if those it was

Daryl would know.

Not sure Daryl would remember…

He may have records, a lot of frame builders do…worth a shot.

I love your optimism but unfortunately, I think it’s all gone.

Some used Easton tubing but most were built using a heavier gauge Al which was less prone to cracking.

I dunno
This 91 ad references Easton Vari-Lite tubing. Admittedly no decal on the frame in the ad but Swede sent me lots of good reading stuff tonight and I think my 91 date could be ok…

It seems as if Daryl has "forgotten" most of his past or pushed away the old times and just wanted to move on ... I bet losing his company and all the problems back then left heavy scars. At least it seems to me from the outside.

Already hit a speed bump with the San Andreas so had another play with the Funk tonight.
Switched lots of parts to silver
Really don’t want to go 3DV again
But hot damn this is growing on me

It’s pissing with rain outside so allotment jobs are out of the question
so I might have a play with various builds today.
Tried these NOS Scott SE Pedersen brakes
Colours work perfectly
But they are far too new for this build
Might have an interesting Plan B though…
