The postman came and i've fallen in love!!!
« on: June 11, 2010, 05:13 PM »
well i've always loved these frames and thought they are often over looked as a great design, so looking for a new race frame to build up to ride i stumbled across this on ebay, it was in germany but what the hell......i only went and won it!  so it arrived today and my god it's a thing of shere beauty!!!  i gave it a rub over with a cloth and just sat there for about 15 minutes looking at it in the sun!  (yes i think i need medication)  ;D   it's a pro model so it has a 20" tt which is well ridable for me. 
i've been told it's a Gen2 model from about the start of the 90's (as it has the pitbull mount) but can't make out the year from the serial number?  Jai can you help?

it's a survivor but other than the odd washer mark on the dropouts it's in mint condition!  hope you like as much as i do!

Does your misses panic every time the postman comes about how much you have spent like mine.

Looks a sweet project  :daumenhoch:

She really is a thing of beauty, the pictures don't do her justice as they're only crappy phone pictures

You're damn right  Rob theseare great looking frames  :smitten:

Regretted selling mine to Dan diesel , especially when he did such a fine job ,repainting and building it up  :4_17_5:


But that chrome one will look awesome once it's mounted on LG's  :)

Very underrated frame, still very ridable nowadays and featuring most of the SE gimmicks, that rear tube end is just genius !!!
I think I could have spent 15 minutes staring at it too  :LolLolLolLol:
