How funny to find this after all these years. That was my bike (that photo is still on my server).

I built it, ground-up when I was still racing XC for a local bike shop in New Lenox, Illinois called Pedal Power. The ProCraft was not the same as the BMX or German company, but a small micro builder in the area that also rode with guys from the bike shop. He did all steel road and mountain frames, and it was a complete custom build to match the geometry of my old '93 Fat Chance Yo Eddy. It's a late 90s build, even though there are some earlier parts on it. Many of the 3DV parts were off of my original Yo, including the Cooks cranks, Ringle bits, XTR components, Avid brakes, etc. Was a killer ride in 853 Reynolds. It even had a lightweight wheelset built for it with Mavic "sunrise" hoops, titanium spokes and 28-hole Ringle hubs. The paint was even a custom Glasurit metalflake bassboat purple with an SL Judy to match.

Kinda miss that one-of-a-kind bike...
