He moved the brake mounts too. Interesting.

The mounts are in the same spot. He said he deepened the dropout and modified the brakes (extended the slot where the pad mounts on the arms).

Stripped this down on Sunday and repainted it yesterday. Quick photo while it was paintless.
(Not sure why photobucket flipped the pic, tried to fox it, but it is still upside down on here).

PabstBlueRibbon and I worked out a trade deal. I traded him a Tree 4130 SD sprocket for some of his homemade wood and 'shine goods. He shipped fast and even threw in a bunch of awesome extras.

Excellent communication all the way and a great guy to deal with.

It is black, just really greasy/dirty in the pic (plus my camera sucks).

That stem looks nice! Could you please post a side view pic of it?

He is a side view. Like Matchu mentioned, it is pretty much a slimmed down Challenger. Definitely more knee friendly since it has less material hanging off of the back side.
