Here is perhaps your one and only chance to score an original, old-school Retrotec! Originally black, here is Retrotec #9 repainted by the legendary Keith Anderson in a beautiful olive green, and unbuilt since. This was an $1800 paint job. This frameset is in absolutely perfect condition. The new decals come from Curt Ingles's shop. We believe this to be a 92 or 93, probably built by Bob Seals, but possibly by Curtis Inglis. Just look at that s-shaped down-tube!
In a long quest to find anything wrong with this bike, all I could come up with was a little excess paint, or perhaps a little burr left from the framebuilder on the bottom of the fork crown. See the final picture. It is otherwise immaculate, with perfect paint. I hope you ride it hard! Please send pictures of the final build.
Features-
Serial #9, of 50 produced. 58cm /22.8" top tube center to center. Obviously the design of this presents some challenges to obtaining an accurate measurement. This measurement is from the center of where the seat tube and top tube intersect to the center of the head tube. 48.5cm /19"+ seat tube measured from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of seat tube 135mm rear dropout spacing Internal cable routing. One of the cable guides that exits by the seat clamp did not get painted. I have a silver and black one that I am including with the sale.
