Wait a few weeks, shoot him another email, see if you and Alan can ride out there to check it out. This looks like a good project, and has some cool city mods already.morgmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663881713787401430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618464735208062937.post-43081790361736561042008-11-14T05:49:00.000-08:002008-11-14T05:49:00.000-08:00The wishbone stays on that frame are plenty strong...The wishbone stays on that frame are plenty strong Nick. It was a popular frame that went unchanged for a number of years. That being said, the seller was in PA, and only worked in NY.. and he wasn't willing to bring the bike in on the train for me to have a look. I wouldn't have paid the $300 he was asking anyways.<BR/><BR/>My next MTB (unless its a 29er) will have elevated stays and WILL be vintage steel. <BR/><BR/>...so that rules out a Cirrus, and half of the Nishiki/Mantis designs (literally)... I guess leaving me with only the early Nishikis. The bolt together alu/chromo ones were cool, but I don't think I would trust that junction after this many years.((lyledriver))https://www.blogger.com/profile/01783559652281731529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618464735208062937.post-91216565920323674752008-11-12T17:29:00.000-08:002008-11-12T17:29:00.000-08:00I could never get down with Haro's bent-tube eleva...I could never get down with Haro's bent-tube elevated stay design. Why unnecessarily weaken the frame? Rocky, Mantis, and Nishiki all had far, far cleaner executions.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319339958830449852noreply@blogger.com
