Damn, you guys. Too bad I have to break this stream of hotness with my beater. 
Have put on new tires & blue bar wraps since then. But otherwise, good ol' Roadf*cker remains much unchanged.

He's a Framebuilder. I was thinking trusty old steel. You can see my old frame on this page if you're curious, it's the gt pulseish one.

SP was just a slightly thicker version of SL and most used or frames 58 and up. From that era look for SLX tubing for a stiffer ride.
