Cool project!

About five or so years ago I built up a Nashbar road racing frame as a "hybrid" for a friend of mine. He rides on the bike path exclusevely and wanted something light and faster but didn't want drop h/bars. He actually doesn't ride it much because he says it's uncomfortable. The frame color is a red/white/yellow fade. He has gotten alot of complements on it. The frame weights exactly four lbs., I weighed it at work on a very accurate postal/UPS scale.

Interestingly enough all the welds on it have been sanded smoothed like a Cannondale.
I can borrow the bike and take pics of it (with complete specs) if anybody is interested.
