29er S/S with Paragon sliders

This frame and fork are the last projects to leave the shop in July. The rider is 5'8" and races s/s on a 29er so this will be his next ride. The frame and fork are nearly all True Temper , just the rear stays are Dedaccai. This is pretty typical of the 29er's I build these days....seems that the rigid fork is back and gears are not the norm. My idea of an ideal bike is one of these with an internal-geared hub......all of the range, no der's or chain slap. Look for that bike late this winter-I'll be riding it, at least if I ever get the time to build it !

Team frames for sale

This team rider, Chris McGovern has decided to start his own team so he's cutting loose of his two team scandium frames. The frames were used for the 2009 season only and appear to be in mint condition. Chris sent me some photos which I was unable to upload. Here's a photo of him with one of the bikes in the lead at the Pilarcitos race at McLaren park last season. Chris can be reached at mcgovski@gmail.com if you are interested in the frames. Chris is 5'11" and the frames have a 57.5 top tube, if I remember correctly. These frames are built form the GX-2 tubing that I haven't been able to get since last year.....it's the world-class stuff.
