New project

Should be here soon after repair and repaint. An almost complete NOS 1989 build awaits, but I couldn't find an XT headset, don't like 1989-era grips much and won't pay the kind of money people are wanting for the pedals.

Are you still looking for a headset? Threaded I assume?

Is the color a dark grey?

Looking forward to this build.

No idea Kirk, sorry! It was painted by Noah Rosen at Velocolour in Toronto and is based on a job in his gallery. I was thinking a rootbeer-y until I saw this restored Torpado.

Well whatever it is, I like it. May have to give Noah a call to find out.

In the mean time we need bigger / better pics of your bike.

I'll put some better pictures up when it goes into the classifieds in the next couple of weeks. REALLY slow year for me work-wise...

Is that a 21" TC? I really like the color! Too bad it's way too big for me.
