Some bikes I just don't want to see go.

Not what I would personally ride, but beautifully done.

Nice work Darrel.

Nice and crisp/black and white. I dig it.

What sort of rear disc dropout did you use on this one?

when I see your brake line exiting the frame, it makes me wonder what stops water/moisture from entering at this point? That goes for any steel frame with a hole in it! My hardtail is steel with a stealth dropper post - same thing...

Beautiful bike, by the way.

Not sure how much time Darrel is spending on the board these days but those are PolyDrops by Paragon Machine Works on the rear.

I believe he used brass full length brass tubing for the internal cable routing so it's fully sealed.
