Just finished a build for my son. 01 ano black Factory Homegrown. Went 650b wheels. Another plus of the 01 frame.
I follow that site although I haven’t bought anything from anybody on there. I missed Norm Hansen HG guy posts.
But it would be nice to have some made up that are titanium. I would have some made up but I don’t have any connections.
I believe Alex Hearn, a Homegrown aficionado, had them made up. I bought 4 sets and they are pretty cool. I had some of the other skewers with just the tomato on them and put them on a bike I gave to my brother. I like these better than the older ones.
Wow, I’ve never seen a top cap go for that much. Makes me wonder what the NOS black one I have still in the original packaging would go for.
I am watching them right now. Do you have anything else with a tomato on it you might want to sell? Like a seat post clamp?
They work fine as long as you can find one with a straight steerer tube and also whether it has brake studs or disc brake only depending on what you want. I personally like Rockshox SIDs because they are light and easy to service. My son has a Fox RL100 he loves. The newer ones actually work much better in my opinion.
I just looked at the Homegrown model tab and the frame looks to be a 2000. The seat stay IS brake tabs are clearly visible in the picture. I didn’t know the 2000 model had those, I thought the 2000 model had the 22mm chainstay disc mount.
Looks like a real one to me. My daughter has the same frame. 2001 Homegrown Pro, the only year that IS brake tabs were installed on the seat stays so you can use disc brakes pretty easily. Take a look at the Homegrown models tab at the top of the page to find this bike with a list of the original components. I attached a picture of my daughter’s bike with the velocals decals installed. You would have to make sure you order black letters with dark gray shading if you want them like the originals. Kinda pricey but worth it. http://www.velocals.com/schwinn-pro-homegrown-sku-481/
