I built this bike last year using a few old parts I've had since the early 90's and some others I had laying around the garage. It's got a 1" threaded front end, one of the last of the old boys. When I found the frame in San Diego a few years back it was built up complete with Landing Gear forks, generic 3pc cranks, Castillo Bars and a bunch of crappy parts. I bought the whole thing for 100 bucks. First thing I did was strip all the parts off and sell the forks to get my 100 bucks back. The Pitchforks I used I've had since 94, along with the ti seatpost and top half of the Pozi Stop. This bike rules. She's fast and loose.

ReplyDeletei can't tell what's going on with the seat post clamp--is there some kind of tab that extends down the back of it?
Yeah, it's an Odyssey Pozi-Stop for use with old Pitbull brakes. The tab would connect to a hanger that you'd run the brake cable through.
ReplyDeleteohhhhhhhhhhhh of course. i do remember those. thanks!

I had two of these in 95-97 that were so sweet.One of them was decked out with all the lightest parts and only weighed 24.5 lbs. That was pretty light for those days!
