My new canvas...
 

Here she is! The UPS man brought her today.

A 1999 GT Backwoods frame. Picked it up off ebay for $20.50
"100% American Made of 7000 grade Aluminium, Custom Butted" the sticker says.
The downtube diameter is massive and I love the Triple Triangle. It'll slowly turn in to a singlespeed after my "other" bike is finished.

Nice! Does the non-drive side also have a replaceable dropout? You could get some horizontal or track ends milled for ya.

$20? Sh-ite, that's a good deal.

I'm hoping for 26" slicks with a Pace carbon fork and some road drops, a la:

That one tugs at my heartstrings.

i've always been fond of this FGG'er:

That looks like a 700c-wheeled bike with a tiny compact frame.

But, mucho seatpost *does* look good.

Unfortunately, no.

Ooo, I'm diggin the design of those forks. Dunno if i could afford the CF price tag though.
