Hello All,
I just found and signed up for this forum. It doesn’t appear to be too active, but I’m happy to have found it.
I’ve been wanting a Homegrown for quite some time and was pretty particular about what I was looking for. I wanted a 2001 with the IS tabs in a large. I preferred just a frame, but was willing to buy a complete bike if it was the right one. Well, I was fortunate enough to have looked on Ebay at the right time and I found a Factory ano black 19″, 2001 frame which had never been assembled. I got it for less than I was prepared to pay @ $521.00, so I feel like I scored. I’m a little torn, as this thing is in such good shape, that it should almost be preserved as-is and not built/ridden. It will be built though.
I’m going to build it as a single speed. With the right parts I should be able to build it at 19 lbs or less. I’m stoked!
Cheers All!
Chuck
