Another build is coming up

Some time ago I was contacted by a guy who had a few frames he was willing to give away for shipping cost only, witch is a good deal even though shipping unpacked, he didn't want to have any hassle about it, costs quite some money. (approx $120/bike). He was moving, wanted to travel light and was just gonna toss'em away. As time flies I realize that's a no deal. There's a limit of how aggressive I can be towards a person who's actually willing to give away two frames. The big downside is that I've already gotten all the parts needed to make the builds.


Anyways. Now, only a few blocks away, this frame turns out for sale. Me, with no money to spend on bikes for a looong time, or spend on anything else for that matters, ask this person if he's willing to trade it for a pair of wheels (Shimano 7800. Barely used). And that he is!! All the members of the house are exited over getting another bike in the house.






The frame is made by Daccordi for a Norwegan brand (DBS) using SLX tubing.

Pictures updated 1 oct 2006. I now consider this build finnished.
The fork will be changed to something more original (some day).

Not finnished yet, but I'm getting there. Had a short ride today and it behaved great.

The crank will be swapped into a C-record. Just needs some polishing and a new bottom bracket. The saddle will be a Brooks Swift honey. Wheels?. I have a pair of 15-20 years old deep section polished alu rims. Rear wheel's done, but I'm waiting for the right length of spokes for the front wheel.
