I figured I'd resucitate this thread with my recent discovery of the old Volkscycle sales brochure I got when I bought my Mark XX back in the 70's. The Mark 100 and Mark XX were both double butted cro-mo frames, while the Mark XV and Mark X were made from a lower end straight gauge tube. My Mark XX frame weighs in at just under 5 lbs fully stripped, and the tubes have a nice ring when snapped with a fingernail. Not bad bikes for their time, a decent mix of components at a fair price, I still also have my sales receipt for $157. Also made for a comfy touring ride, with a long rear triangle. I'm in the process of getting mine ready for professional repaint, the last homebrew job is showing its age. Still debating going with the factory paint scheme, or tricking it out a bit. I want to get decals based on the originals, and have been searching for sources.

Anyway, enough of my blathering. If you want to see the sales brochure pages, with pictures and all the specs, go to http://home.houston.rr.com/bubbadog/
