So this is a mixture of parts I had leftover with a few new things – I wanted a simpler bike for dirt and tracks – the main inspiration was getting this frame/fork/seatpost in a box of parts.
This is a redline frame &fork (midschool) , i removed the powder coating red paint and graphics, frame and seatpost are aluminum/ forks are chromoly, shadow vultus bars, vans grips, tioga spyder seat and pedals . Mission 3pc cranks (paint removed -raw steel) , sealed shadow bb, sealed headset, cult neck ,
Alienation black sheep rims.

These rims are new school and the (female) axle didn’t fit in the rear dropouts of this older frame. I cut them with a fine blade coping saw

Overall it’s a solid feeling bike that’s responsive. The cassette has a nice, very loud and pronounced sound lol , different than my other bikes
A few extra pics showing the welds ..
I kept the red line seat clamp although i’m not routing my cable through it .
