Thanks for the support, folks! The Carvers are really quite a good value. I don't know what they're made of beyond "steel" but they ride really nice. I've also got one on my '92 Fishlips Toxic Tuna. I like that they come with mid fork low rider braze-ons, a feature that rarely seems to appear on forks from the era in which the frames were built. I guess back then the emphasis was on racing and suspension was all the rage. Thankfully, we're realizing that not every bike ride has to be a race.

Nice looking 930, AdventureMan! I love the wishbone seat stay, and would love to have a bike with one. If you build it up I want to see pics!

The aforementioned tires came in yesterday afternoon, and I gotta say, they are enormous! Marked at 2.125, which may not seem large given the industry trend of big giant tires, but to me they almost look cartoonishly large. And they feel heavy. Probably because they are. I may just swap em back to the original Crossroads tires I had on it before. Or I have a nice set of Specialized Hemisphere 26 x 1.95 on my tandem that could make their way to this frame. But I'll give them a fair shake before deciding. Have a look; they don't look too big in the photo, but in reality, to my eyes anyway, they are Phat!
