| | Clearly a "customer" bike, the 16th ever built (presumably?). |
| | | Non-sloping top tube, Type-I, skinny seatpost, flat bars, and cantis front/back. |
|
| | The '94 rebuild didn't change the basics of the bike layout. |
| | | The top tube actually slopes ever-so-slightly DOWN. |
|
| | Laid back seat/head tube angles and a long chainstay mean very mellow handling. |
| | | Frame, fork and seatpost collar are about the only original parts. |
|
| | Tossed out were a bunch of really trashed non-'Ham and/or non-orginal parts. |
| | | The traditional bottom gusset; Type-I fork crown and legs are sweet. |
|
| | The flat (not machined-out) rear dropouts are the sign of an early Cunningham. |
| | | I had Charlie "spread" the rear dropouts from ~130 to 140mm. |
|
| | Replaced every single rivet-on fitting (rusted) with new, much beefier pieces. |
| | | New Cunnningham Seatpost QR on original collar. |
|
| | New Cunningham Fixed Angle Seatpost; Note the cool tapered sleeve at top. |
| | | Welds are a little rough compared to later Cunninghams. |
|
| | More of the new rivet-on cable stops (bigger/better than even his '92 bikes). |
| | | NO top gusset (unusual); King "Short Stack" headset allows use of original fork. |
|
| | New "noodle" cable guide; New bottom bracket with Grease Guard ports. |
| | | New Cunningham flat bar stem on traditional "mounting taper" (cone). |
|
| | | WTB GG front hub in "standard" (narrow) flange spacing... |
|
| | ...which allows clearance of Type-I fork legs (Type-II's are offset). |
| | | Added a third bottle cage bolt to get optimal mounting of favored "Bomber" cage. |
|
| | New WTB Cantilevers mounted front and back. |
| | | WTB New Paradigm 140mm Cassette freehub in back. |
|
| | XTR deraileurs and shifter/brake levers. |
| | | Cook Bros. Racing cranks, Suntour XC Compe pedals (modified); Fisher doubles. |
