I thought I would post a few pics of bikes I had built over the years here. I can't remember if I had said anything about them here or not, so apologies in advance for any repetition.
1. Iron Horse ARS 4.0. I went out to buy one of these bikes, and I guess the guy saw me coming, because I came home with two. I swapped a Shimano CUES drivetrain on to it, and could not sell it for $150. I've torn it down and I'm going to repaint it in the spring.
2. Kona Lava Dome. I think this is an '89, and whatever year it is, the paint on it is mind-blowing. It was original, with some pretty worn out SunTour parts, so I took all the Shimano LX stuff off the Fusion from gallery 1, and now I have this super clean Kona ready for the '25 show circuit.
3. Porsche Bike FS. This Votec-built Porsche seemed like a no-brainer as a flip. I had to buy new brakes for it though as the Hayes it came with were toast. I maybe made a modest amount on it.
