Would the Geekhouse Deerfield I picked up here qualify?

Otherwise... dunno.

Had to go back and find the referenced post.

Yeah, I suppose it might bring the shifters a little bit closer. That's a stretch though.

Have you ever spent a few hours on the stoker seat on rough roads, let alone off road?

Its dimensions match the rider whose name is on the frame.

The seatpost cluster, fork crown and tubing diameters match almost exactly those found on certain Excel tubed TIG welded Pinarellos that a certain 5 time Tour winner rode.

Do you know who built those Excel tubed TIG welded “Pinarellos” for Pinarello in the early/mid 90s (and also for a lot of pro riders)?

Can you post some more pics of the details of the craftsmanship on this bike? That fork crown is amazing!

Went to a vintage mtb show last night and saw a few really rare and obscure bikes. A low serial number cook brothers cruiser and a steel Steve Potts were highlights.
