I hope you can find photos of your Sandvik, looking forward to seeing it

Wow, I think it's really cool that you build your own frames as a hobby. How many have you built?

I have a soft spot for ti bikes too, this Mongoose being my third ti bike.

I'll try to dig up some photos and post them later. I remember really liking the bike and it served me well. Kind of wish I kept it but building frames is one of my hobbies and I felt I should be riding one of my own. I've got a soft spot for Ti bikes though and wouldn't mind having another.
