Here's an Otero that I was trying to buy a couple of years ago, but the seller backed out. 1990 ish, made in Spain I think. And a 1930s Murray Mercury that I want to build into retro MTB.

My Blackbuck has curves:



Which, in contrast to this thread theme, is something about the bike I don't like. I guess I'm just a traditionalist, but a normal rear triangle just looks right to me

The Blackbuck sure does handle well, though.

Peyronie of bicycle tubes like humans should not cause any performance loss unless the curvature is exterme. At least this is what my urologist says, who also rides a serrota.

thanks, I'm really happy with the handling of the bike. The front end geometry is very close to a Haro Mary, steeper 72d HTA and 51mm rake Fox F29 fork so it's quick in the single track and still smooth on fast fire roads. It's all filet brazed and has rear rack mounts. The tubing is on the lighter side so it's very smooth in the rough stuff for a hardtail. I really prefer steel hardtail 29ers to any other MTB.
