I just bought this German-made, Union-branded Polybaronex frame today for the parts, and have since stripped it. This weird thing is an aluminum-tubed frame with
plastic lugs and a steel fork. That's right, it's a reverse Alan Carbon. Or a lesser attempt at a Bridgestone Kabuki. Or something.
I started a thread on it.
All I know is that I'm not kicking the remains to the curb without giving you guys a shot at it.
Hence, the frame and forks are up for grabs, along with the aluminum and plastic wedge-type seatpost, which doesn't work anymore. The post used to be lined in plastic, which is now gone, resulting in a too-small seatpost and a properly sized plastic wedge. You could fashion a proper replacement using an aluminum post.
At any rate, I'm offering the frame + fork up for the cost of shipping, plus an interesting trinket in trade that'd make the effort of packing this historical oddity POS worth it.
Quick specs:
- Frame designed for 700C
- Nutted brake mount
- Rear brake bridge accepts a Pletscher two-bolt rack
- Internal frame lighting wiring (cut)
- Thompson BB included w/o chainguard bracket
- Can include the incomplete shell of the front headlight.
