If interested contact me and I'll hook you up with the owner. It's in Rancho Cordova, Cali at Ventana Mountain Bikes. They can ship. I'm just doing them a favor. I worked there for 8 years, best job I ever had.
Oh yeah. Small frame builders also do a lot of shadow work for other companies. That's where another company pays you to make one-offs.
Examples;
One year the TDF had a number of Ventana frames. Pro riders are very finicky about fit and geometry. Sometimes a stock frame won't fit.
A couple...
Made a few changes. Sitting in the back room waiting on them. I decided to go with a Panther chainguard. I have one in perfect condition. It only lacks chrome.😁
Oh yeah Captain also my favorite color. Ventana had some killer greens.
This is the El Toro. It wasn't as quick handling as the Bravo. The Bravo had shorter chainstays for climbing.
