(SOLD)

This frame was built for showroom display over the last year as well as for display at last years CABDA in Chicago. The tube set is TrueTemper OX-Gold OS, True Temper's air-hardening tube set offering. All lugs, drops, crown, and BB shell are Henry James Investment cast.

One thing you won't be able to see in any of the pictures (I forgot to take one) is there is a spade design cut into the leading tip of the BB shell at the DT juncture. Looks really nice...if I do say so my self.

 

The paint job is a beautiful example of an application of House of Kolor Kandy Apple Red by Jeff Bock. The paint scheme gives a elusive shadowing effect due to fading around the circumference of the tubes. Decals are white with gold outline.

Although built-out until recently and on display in an LBS, it is in immaculate condition with only a mark from the front derailleur clamp (which will be covered when built again). It was only ever used for test rides.

The crown used is one of Henry James crowns that has 3 degrees of rake built in so that the final rake in the blades themselves is minimal. Nice compromise between the traditional fork and today's straight blade fork.
