This is a great looking frame and I love the profile of the tubing 

Nice score and I 'm looking forward to seeing this built up 

[Macmania]

Nice one Joffy - look forward to seeing how it turns out


Nath - while I'm on - did you get anywhere with that Micro Fox?

Yep, it's next in line. The Seatpost and freewheel were stuck so that's taken a bit of effort

Hey another MT, But no ordinary one pal... 


It'll be minty mint mint once built, I've seen Joff at work, " the detailing he does on his bikes is amazing"

I think he needs to get a few to MK.... 2014.

[rollin72]

Awesome find Joff

That's a funky lookin frame set, it's kinda all bits n pieces   

Are you building it shop fresh or custom spec

[griff]

Are you sorted for cables?

[brummie]

wonder if we/you will ever see this one finished 

[Macmania]

You sure the serial number doesn't start with a letter A ?

I have all the parts bar the stem and the seat to build it factory spec Steve but im angling more towards a few upgrades , DC MX1000 , Kashi aero , better stem and seat clamp and some XCII's 

Are you sorted for cables?

   might go for a Black DC if i can find one 

nice Jofffy

    I think you might see a few builds from me this year Dave   

[Mattdub]

Very nice Joff ! 

[MartyC]

Love it, cracking looking frameset 

[NORTY40]

Cheers Matt and Marty 

Started the resto on the sumo aero rims and bought a DC MX900, tech 3 and some Suntour XCII's so it's going custom spec but i will retain quite a few of the factory parts .

[Badbaldie]

Come on Joffy lets see this one (or any one) built up in Jan... infact you could do a calendar ... 1 a month

  Your so right Lenny  ..... if im honest i think i could do 2 a month with the frames i have here      Defo feeling the love for it at the mo so you will see a few builds very soon    I even had a sort through some stuff i ain't going to use so a big clearout is on the cards to fund the parts i really need .

[Retrodan72]

Are Sumo Aero rims the same as Araya Aero's Joff?

[NORTY40]

Are Sumo Aero rims the same as Araya Aero's Joff?

Sure are Dan just a lot rarer , just like the Sumo 7X's are the same as Araya 7X's  ..... some people say they were both manufactured in the same factory but im not so sure    the reason being , i have restored/polished both Sumo and Araya rims and the Araya's always seem to polish up better . ie better/higher grade of alloy perhaps    Im not convinced they were manufactured in the same factory but there's no doubting that in both styles (7X and aero) they are vitually identical to each other in appearance.
