Oh, so now we're stealing thread titles?!

If you think that's bad, you're going to be really annoyed when you see what's in the box

 

[pw_pw_la]

Ha! No way, I’ll be excited for you.

Whatever it is!

Come on, show us what you’ve got…

Frame arrived from germany this morning in some of the best packaging I've ever seen - pipe lagging, bubble wrapped and extra cardboard padding.
Its in quite excellent condition with barely a mark on it apart from where the front mech clamps on.

and for the reveal:





Yes! its the long sought after metallic purple (cadbury) bontrager race in large.

This one is slightly odd in that it has top pull front mech routing but two piece stays - so its probably late 94 early 95.

All the important things - brake bosses, chain suck plate etc are in place, it looks like it was built up and then never used.

The initial plan for this is to build it up a a retromod rider - bring the judys across from the racelite, M9000 running gear and vbrakes along with some modern rubber so its usable.

Quick throw together with what I've got in the spares box. I think this going to work with black wall tyres and 1x, but frustrated I don't have enough brake spares to get it running.
