Say hello to Monster

Bill came to me looking for a machine that could tackle roads, dirt roads, cobbles, pot holes, and almost anything else that crossed his path. He wanted to use 28 mm tires with short reach Record calipers. The fork length and seat stay bridge height were set to their maximum so the pads were at the near-bottom of the slots. Chainstay length was stretched a bit and the seat tube angle was shallowed out a bit. Neutral handling would help in the 9th hour of the Deerfield Dirt massacre. And the final request was a full compliment of Mr. Sachs' castings and forged frame ends. This was a very enjoyable frameset to build and I thank Bill for his order. Wait until you see the paintjob. You will certainly understand the inspiration for this bike. And it comes at just the right time of year...
