okay, well new to me. I saw this on craigslist, was attracted to it's strangeness. I called about it and found out it had a decent groupset (shimano 600), was made of decent material (tange 2 tubing), and was in ridable condition.

so i took the 40 minute drive out to see it. the seller was a bit eclectic with bikes. his house didn't really have any furniture, just bikes. his kitchen was full of bike parts, his garage was full of random wheels, frames, and pedals. Nice guy, a bit odd, but nice. I was surprised when he brought the bike out and how clean it was, compared to the more or less disarray of everything else.

I didn't know what to expect since there seems to be very little about these bikes. all i heard was that you'll probably kill your neck from the angle and that they're twitchy. I don't know about the neck part, but this thing is twitchier than a squirrel on cocaine. once you get it straight though, it absolutely flies and accelerates like mad. rode it a couple blocks and I was hooked on it.

anyways, he swapped out the clipless pedals that were on there since i don't have any road clipless shoes for some random clipped ones we found in his pile of pedals. after all was said and done it came to about 200 bucks, not too bad considering this frame is light, the components are equivalent to ultegra, and I found out it had NJS stamping on the stem. and it shouldn't be hard to sell in davis (not that i'm looking to sell anytime soon)

anyways, some pics:
