Jim--
Here
are some photos of Trevor for the Single Speed Garage. He's a weird
"Motobecane" Jury, which has nothing to do with the Motobecane of
old, but is in this case a most peculiar frame with track ends,
high BB, full fender braze-ons, and clearance for near-29er tires.
I have decided that it is a Taiwanese version of the old British
path racer concept, hence the name "Trevor Wong."
Put
together mostly with parts from the Green Gopher, my Trek that never
really quite fit me: Alien crankset, MKS GR-o pedals, Formula/Sun
wheels, Nitto 115 bars, a stem from Carla W.'s Cross Check, some
technical help from Wes O., one of my old Flite Trans ams, and Velo
Orange fenders, racer sadly beat-up.
A
tad heavy but rides very nicely; nothing like the lively little
Bottecchia but a good stable worthy ride nonetheless. Despite
the disparagement heaped upon him by some of our friends on the
iBOB list, he will be a fine back-up bike and load-fetcher. Here
are the pix!
