Obsessive searching for vintage mountain bikes and components. Some occasional road bike love too.

Early Steve Potts CCR

The dude that sold this bike to the ebay seller called the bike a WTB Racer. Maybe he mistook the name, but I am not so sure. This bike, built by Steve Potts, has a number of details that differentiate it from later CCRs (cross country racers). The cable guides are very different and the fork is fillet brazed, not TIG welded. The bike has just enough patina to keep it real too. Oh yea, dibs on stems etc was a fantastic bonus.
