I vaguely remember this, Im thinking Bontrager or IRD, but not sure. I only have the one unfortunately... Anybody recognize this?
Sorry for the lousy pics.

Scott would be able to tell you if it was an IRD. He seems to know those pretty well.Fillet-brazed said:I vaguely remember this, Im thinking Bontrager or IRD, but not sure. I only have the one unfortunately... Anybody recognize this?
Not with the pivot below the pad holder. It's a canti style arm.banks said:It's not IRD.
It's WTB/Roller cam.
Thanks Rumpfy. So glad youre are moderator to help us gimps out.Rumpfy said:You should be!
Mike, no guesses? I thought maybe you would be able to figure it out for us.ssmike said:Not with the pivot below the pad holder. It's a canti style arm.
Me too. Like it's on the tip of my tongue (fingers). Based on the canti type roller - I can only think of IRD, Paul or maybe marinovativ. Does the roller have a sealed bearing like WTB rollers or just a brass bushing like Suntour's? It almost has a prototype-ish look to it.Fillet-brazed said:Ive seen this before, I just dont remember what or where.
Well, it came from Santa Cruz. It was in Tim Sullivan's (bro of Jim Sullivan the Ritchey Masters champ) shop. He only had the one and let me have it when he noticed that it intriqued me. I thought it might make a nice paper weight until I find its twin someday.ssmike said:Me too. Like it's on the tip of my tongue (fingers).

I'm going to venture a guess that it's a prototype Bontrager (weren't they all prototypes?)
Funny you should mention Sully. I just mentioned him in a post about that OG beam bike that Eric posted because Softride had a model named after him - the Sully. Sully was a fun guy to be around back then. Didn't he have a heart attack many years ago and require some emergency open heart surgery?Fillet-brazed said:Well, it came from Santa Cruz.

He has recovered. I saw him in Bellingham a few years ago. Still riding the beam bike with the Softride stem. He had Ritchey MobyBite slicks on it and was still railing the wet trails on Galbraith (sp).ssmike said:Funny you should mention Sully.

Thanks for the update. Sully was a great guy back then - probably still is. Always had positive energy.shiggy said:He has recovered. I saw him in Bellingham a few years ago.

Ya, he was a character. Always having fun. Pretty sure his open heart surgery was prior to his racing carreer. Could be wrong though...ssmike said:Thanks for the update. Sully was a great guy back then - probably still is. Always had positive energy.
I think it happened after he retired or precipitated it. Cully's happened during his career - Sully, Cully, there're the same, aren't they?Fillet-brazed said:Ya, he was a character. Always having fun. Pretty sure his open heart surgery was prior to his racing carreer. Could be wrong though...
