1989 Auburn CR-20R
« on: March 10, 2020, 09:46 PM »
Always loved the look of Auburns so got myself an early 1989 model.

They always look like they are going fast when standing still.

This is the 1st generation model which has the chromoly Tri-Link bolt on rear triangle rather than the later models with the aluminium Works-Link triangle.

It also has Auburn forks and Auburn CR-Bars which are superb bars, lovely Araya Super 7X rims laced to a set of Schwinn hubs and Pr1mo V-Track tyres.  GT/Profile cranks with an Asco powerdisc and PPP chainring with an old KMC chain.

Really happy with the way it turned out, it was exactly as I planned.


Frame:  Auburn CR-20R
Forks:  Auburn
Headset:  Odyssey Dynatron
Stem:  Powerlite
Bars:  Auburn CR Bars
Grips:  Jive Tentilcles
Brake Lever:  Dia-Compe Tech77
Brake Cable:  Odyssey
Brake Caliper:  ACS 860
Seat Post:  DK
Seat:  Selle Italia Turbo
Clamp:  DK
Crank:  GT
Powerdisc:  Anlun
Chainring:  PPP
Pedals:   Odyssey Triple Trap (with Crupi Cages)
Rims:  Araya Super 7X
Hubs:  Schwinn
Tyres:  Pr1mo V-Track (2.125 front / 1.75 rear)
Padset:  Auburn
Plate:  Lunatic Fringe

Really like that! The number plate too! :daumenhoch:

Have you noticed the rear triangle design at all when giving the bike a good thrashing? For example, can you feel any flex? I'm guessing not, but have always wondered with these.

That was the rumour however I am not sure it ever happened, I have never seen of any longer/shorter triangles, but it would have been a great idea.

It is a different one, I still have the yellow one, this is a year older and rarer.
