Nice one

I'd seen some posts ages ago about them doing a 25th Anni, are they now on general release, or was there some kinda waiting list?

And price?

They are making 150 of these frame and fork set's. This one is from the first batch of 50 which i know are all sold out. If you go to www.coloredtuffs.com they should have more info there but as far as i know the whole lot are sold.

very nice mate

what spec are you going for? (bet its built before the weekend

)

skyway_dude · « **Reply #13 on:** October 29, 2008, 08:37 PM »

Well it wont be complete before the weekend as i still need a white / silver izumi chain

Some parts will be high end like the stupidly expensive skyway race bars, some parts not so highend. Got a very rare NOS white Kuwahara stem but not sure wheather to use it or not. Might look for a skyway one. Cranks are sugino CT's with skyway pedals. Wheels are new tuffs but again might but alloy hubbed ones on at a later date. Got a NOS shotgun II sadle for her

Divorce in the waiting

adeshere · « **Reply #21 on:** October 30, 2008, 07:59 PM »

So, do they have any marking to indicate that they are the '25th anniversary' version ?

matt · « **Reply #22 on:** October 30, 2008, 08:00 PM »
