Mysterious Vintage Track Frame - aka The Red Baron
Maximum built this one. He and Miles came in to build they're rear wheels the Friday before Thanksgiving. I was building up a full custom Godzilla, in the excitement the boys decided they wanted to build that night too. Many hours later with Sarah's help, we managed to build all three bikes. Toward the end of all this activity, we looked over at this frame from the swap and realized it would fit Maximum perfectly. This saved him from converting his Fuji Hybrid from the early 90's and made one hell of a nice bike. I've said it before and I'll say it again, all you need is a good rear wheel and decent cranks and the rest will come. Sometimes sooner than expected!
