She is a gem, a double butted, fully lugged, cromo-steel frame with minimal braze-on’s, CREATED by skilled Japanese “steel-men”. A castaway Steel Goddess is waiting!! Stripped to her steel soul searching for her “single” Savior!
You know you have been searching for this little black beauty. This 50cm of small straight steel sweetness has been waiting over 25 years, silently searching for her new soul-mate! With bonds having been stripped away and being freed from the clamps and cables the once bound her, NAKED STRENGTH pulsates from her slightly scared steel. She silently sings the sad songs of a single soul wanting to bond her steel with the sweat of an owner who will ride her to greatness but will respect her in the morning! Can you hear her call? The plea of a castaway Goddess, ready to ride the road without regret’s OR Gears!
