I know you built one of these, in fact yours was where I got the idea to make one. Last winter I was looking at my parts stash and figured I had enough parts to almost finish it. It was a Covid project. I gravel raced it and it was a handful with the original gear ratios. We’ve come a long way.
Says sold out.

I’m looking for parts to build another and old frames to weld and braze up another clone. So far nothing good. I want good used inexpensive parts and right now they want $15 for a totally rusted shut, unridable 20 inch kids bike. The frame has to be as close as possible to the original, otherwise there is too much time consuming fabrication. I want a frame that I have little to cut off and the major modification will be putting on track style drops and the laterals. I’ve found a few frames I like but I’m not willing to depart with that much cash for something I’m going to cut up. So far I only have a brake set (including vintage motorcycle levers), wheel rims, bars, grips, shifters and derailleurs. The plan is to build another that I can sell but it looks like it will cost $1500+ just for parts, paint and decals, then there’s months of labor. This does not include building another Brooks B72 seat clone. I can’t find a seat close to original without spending $150. Bad idea. It will take years of careful scrounging to get this stuff. Almost cheaper to buy a real one. I’m lucky I started collecting parts for this one 10 years ago. I still have way too much $ in it, but it’s a hobby.
Killer ride Frankie. Love the BMX fork with the truss combo. Beefy and effective.
