1993 Bridgestone XO-1

What's with the paint job? and the S&S couplers? See the full story on this frame here at Alex Wetmore's site.

The majority of the components on this bicycle came off a Paramount mountain bike that I bought at Recycled Cycles in Seattle, which had like-new early 90's Shimano components on it. The stem, bars, grips, and saddle came from Rivendell. The brakes were given to me by Alex Wetmore.

Here are the components:

• Front Derailleur - Shimano XT
