    So beautiful. One of these days I will find a 17″ version of that frame…

    Yes, the N’Litened badges could be purchased separately. What error or issue are you having uploading pics?

    If you like Flitz, you’ll love Peek Metal polish. The foam mousse works in half  the time  as other metal polish. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Peek-Multi-Purpose-All-Metal-Polish-Mousse-150-…

    Cool, I am a fan of faster/easier. I’ll check out the Eagle One chuckha62 posted too.

    Not OP, but this is the stuff I’ve used with great results on a couple Straight 8 rear triangles:

    Man, I hope he realizes how lucky he is to have a brother like you. Beautiful frame.

    It’s a 2000 Homegrown (base model): http://bonustomato.com/models/2000-homegrown-ht

    Looks to be in great shape and a 21″ frame; sizing was in odd inches (image in link has info).

    Sorry for your loss.

    Price seems a little high but it’s been a while since I’ve compared those. Looking at completed (sold) ebay listings can be a decent reference.

    Also depends on the condition/quality of the parts on it and whether there’s any issues with the bushing on the pivot.

    The carbon S-20 had the same main frame as the Homegrown All-Mountains of the type. The rear triangle may be different, and the components would be lower-level than on a Homegrown. It may have the 22mm disc mounts, like the Homegrowns. Not my area of expertise, honestly.

    1996 or 1997 non-Factory Homegrown made by Anodizing, Inc.
    Characterized by non-externally machined headtube, stamped dropouts lacking tomato, extruded chainstay bridge, and gusset under downtube at head tube.

    The seat tube bade isn’t riveted; it’s just a double-sided tape badge. They’re on ebay from time to time and were used before the end of Schwinn’s contest to name the new “proprietary” alloy. N’Lightened was the name they chose, which led to the badge they started using, in your last photo. The ???? badge was used on some early 2000 frames. Judging on the other items of this frame (chainstay yoke, no “ram air” stays visible, etc., cable stops on tube tube), it’s a 97-98 Moab or Homegrown frame with a bunch of stickers on it.

    Never heard of such a thing. Several of those stickers were available on their own. Looks like someone slapped a bunch of stickers on a Moab or HG but would need more pictures to determine which.

    Price/size/pictures will help a lot if you’re trying to sell.

    I’m trying to figure out why your image isn’t loading, Preston. It’s there and in source code, so this is odd, to say the least.
