Just picked up a new frame/seatpost and i'm thrilled!
Frame is a 2001 IF Deluxe single speed, in chartreuse with baby blue stars. I really like the paint, reminds me of the cool dayglo Chance schemes that I love so much. Seat post is a very posh Syncros Ti.
Looking past the paint I can see many build details that others have mentioned, gusset at the dt, seat tube ring, constant dia chain stays.
Anyway it's in good shape overall but has some paint chips here and there, plus a small dent in the seat tube, no big deal, not even considering a repaint, nope.
So my plans are to build it to early 90's spec. First find a rigid fork or, gasp....have one made. Segmented of course and hopefully with a threaded steerer so I could run a Salsa or Syncros stem with a guide. I'll be running catis front and back and Mavic 231 rims, in fact those are the only parts I have at the moment so this could take a while......
Any suggestions on a fork?
Thanks again for the encouragement.
