This started with the purchase of the Roo bar/stem over ten years ago. I kept an eye out for a frame for ages and finally found one in my size a couple of years back. The fork I bought through Global Fridge who were having a UK frame builder putting them together for Bontragers. The hubs and front cantis are black XT with the usual XT for the rest of the build. I painted the U brake myself, when it was black it just looked wrong. Seat post is American Classic in silver. I found the funky Turbo saddle in Europe and thought it had a perfect Trimble tiger effect going on. Don't know the history of the frame or saddle if anyone can fill that in. Overall the whole bike has that "original patina" look so your not afraid of going for a ride.
