We have been working with Ross Shafer to try and restore his original bike back to original spec. We were able to get it fairly close especially since he was always trying different part combos on it. You can tell this is from an era when time wasn't as expensive. There is a huge amount of hand work on this frame. Just a reminder that Ross will be our featured speaker at our August 27/28 Vintage Mountain Bike Event (swap meet, seminars, rides, races....)

A*M*A*Z*I*N*G. What a piece of MTB history. Congrats for this great find and thanks for sharing...
