I had to kill 45 minutes the other day as one of my appointments had a last minute change. I dropped by a little second hand shop and found this hanging in the back. At first, I thought, "Yellow Label Comp III, Shimano 600 Headset, Araya Hoops, Track Hubs with floating washers, I better grab this for the wheels, tires, hubs and headset and toss the rest in the scrap pile". But after taking a closer look at it, this sure seems to be quite the survivor from the early days of Fire-Roading (Gravity Mountain Biking).
The stem and bars seem to be factory, so it must have been quite the low slung 24/20. Looks like it had a double on the front at one time which would make it at least a 14 speed rig. The welds are simply beautiful and instead of parting it out, it looks like it might be a cool project.
The decals all say Velocitech Mountain Machine.
I tried to google it, but cannot find any information on this brand or model. Anybody ever see one of these or know anything about it?
