Grab-On MT-1

NIB baby! [now available repopped from firstflightbikes!]

Fausto Coppi with Chorus 10-speed

Kinda retro with lugs, flair, brazing and the very nice ti and alloy Chorus 10 speed kit. Fast?

WTB Hubset(s)

Picked up two WTB hubsets - a "good" one and a "bad" one. Over time WTB transformed from the first, and best, maker of ultra-high end mountain bike components to a mass-market OEM lever producer. WTB still makes some tires that find favor, but the company isn't really the same.

This first hubset is transitional with the WTB classic Grease Guard front and the New Paradigm rear but with the old-tyme high-gloss anodizing.



This second hubset is the mass-market type but the rear hub still seems decent ... I hope it is at least!

Fat Chance Team Comp

The Team Comp was the Fat Chance race bike. Built of light-weight Tange Prestige the frames were built with custom sizing and paint. The metallic flake in the pink and black doesn't show up. The build is rounded out with an aerosports carbon bar (very dangerous no doubt), IRD seatpost and Cook Bros cranks.

Bradbury Manitou stem

I didn't know he made the stem with a 1 1/4 steerer. Must be from later production. Beautifully polished and cool machining.

WTB brake pads

Subtle silver color, Kool Stop made composite pads, beautifully machined body. It is a shame that you can't really replace the pads on these any more as they are one of the best. These come via the back shelves of a local shop.

1987 Chorus

I remember reading Bicycle Guide's review of the new Chorus group again and again. I finally got a group in 91 or 92 but had to sell it two years later to help pay for college. Happily, I was able to find another group on Craigslist through the BOB list. So cool.
