OX Platinum road frame


My camera is old and feeble so these photos are a little dark. I guess you have some good days,then some not so good days.....so it goes with the old Sony. This frame is really light - it weighed in at a scant 3 lb. 6 oz. before I put the guides on. The customer requested no bends in the stays so it is a very simple style. I still put a gusset on the down tube to help the frame in a frontal impact.
The other request was a set of round/oval/round chain stays......very old school in my book.
There's plenty of room for a 700x28 tire on this frame , even though it will have short reach caliper brakes.
