Another absolute fire build. Those graphics against the fluoro are instantly evocative of the period, yet never became dated. Wheelbase does indeed look incredibly short, can't wait to try it out!

[@garysprojects]

ayyyyoooooo nice build!

[@B_C09NER]

Great bike, nice to see another retro nut collecting and building, guess your local to I’m at Guisborough

[@jonntischnabel]

Powder coat the crown in the flouro green or the pink 👍🤩

Lovely bike. I remember drooling over these in magazines at school.

[@joshstevens8276]

Never seen one of these. Wish you had the matching seatpost. Sweet Build!

[@davo19777]

Absolutely stunning bike well done. I have a Saracen estay and they do climb well with the short wheelbase

[@howarthp1]

Great build 3onner - particularly the colour matched rims

[@balfaboy]

That is a sweet ride! I was a dealer for them way back at my shop...i had the all red cro-mo one and loved it. Climbed tech like a billy goat. Nicely done on that one!!

Retro in the title makes me feel old when I remember these new eek. Love the atac answer stem, after something similar for my Sintesi Bromont rebuild.

[@db748R]

[@RobertWilliams-ox4hz]

I always thought raised chainstay bikes were awesome looking.

[@db748R]

Definitely...its a pretty rad(ical) peice of design from an era of true invention, trial and sometimes error 👍🏼

[@RobertWilliams-ox4hz]

@@db748R I used to have a Nishiki Alien in 91. This is definitely cooler. Still have my KHS Montana Pro FZ.

[@toddmcdonough]

@@RobertWilliams-ox4hz I had an Alien as well. The shifter cable routing was a nightmare. These frames would be perfect for a belt drive setup.

[@superdomestiquesd]

Lovely build. Incoming Muddy Fox?

[@db748R]

good guess....but no.

[@vyws06]

are there no soft cracks on the frame? Because many have cracked on the alloy frame
