I picked this up off ebay the other day as a semi-complete with some choice parts on it. I'm not sure why it didn't get bid up more, but I'm not complaining...This frame looks like it was lightly ridden. It still has the OG decals (a few small knicks and scrapes) and after a lil' bit of mother's mag/aluminum polish and a lot of rubbing ohmy.gif it came out looking REALLY nice... cool.gif This frame has absolutely HUGE tubing (something you can only grasp when you see it in person) - The dropouts remind me of zero9/cyclecraft (they are also huge), I haven't stopped smiling since I got this frame...Hopefully it will get built soon...

The parts that this came with were as follows:

Frame: McMahon
Fork: Hanebrink triple clamp
Headset: Chris King
Cranks: Black FSA Robinson aluminum 180s
Pedals: Snafu
Bars: Answer aluminum (uncut)
Plate: The Dinner Plate (one of my favorite plates from back in the day)
Grips: ODI
Lever: Tektro Talon (blue)
Wheelset: GT Rythm rims with bulletproof sealed hubs
Tires: Specialized

I was thinking about selling the wheels before I got them, but I REALLY like them...They are built for a tank...What was the year that GT came out with the Rythm wheels?

Does anyone have any more information on these frames or this company? Maybe some ads or a price on the frame from Dan's Comp? I only know of one other frame that has re-surfaced...

I was watching that auction and REALLY wanted that frame to go with my 20 mcmahon fork but just did not have the $$$

Nice pick up! Hope to see ya building this one soon.

Thanks! It shouldn't take that long to build...I have most of the parts already...Do you have a 20" pro sized McMahon fork? If so, maybe we can work something out via trade or $$$ haha...PM coming your way...

i kind a remember them frames. love the forks. i have a set of McMahon race forks and was someday going to find a frame when all my oldschool projects are done.

I thought about it but as Chad can concur, I am low on funds. I figured you would've had an eye on that and I am certainly glad it ended up in your hands Mike.

Mcmahon is a good find. They are fairly rare as are the Hanebrinks. Nice snag.

I am sending a PM your way so be on the lookout.

Great looking bike! I don't know that I've ever seen anything this burly.

Can't wait to see the build!

All the Best
