03' Balfa Minuteman, long, raw clearcoat.
I love this bike, steel is real yo! I wasn't "feeling" the Specialized P1 I had, so I striped the frame's parts and put them on the Balfa. Geometry was pretty similar, but the feel of steel is defiantly nicer. Took it out on the track at Rye last night the bike handles real good, can't wait to get it out on the trails!
big thanks to the magnificent MMcGrath and Brian Condon at Hilltop bike for the frame hook up!

SWEET! How's the disk mount work w/ the horizontal drops? Are the holes just ovalized/slotted?

Couch- It's like a normal International Standard tab (round holes) Hayes Caliper has a adapter. I just threw the thing on and centered it after the wheel was locked down, it was too easy! same as the p1 dropout. I'll take a close up pic (MMG has been bugging the s*** out of me to post mega pictures of this bike, that should make him happy.)

Your pics are awesome Todd - hey what can I say - I'm separated, single and not getting any action these days :( - so I'd at least like to be able to look at some good quality bike porn. ;) ;D
