1988 Steve Potts

1988 Steve Potts
Built in November of '88 and the 198th frame Steve built. When I was up at Steve's shop one day he mentioned all the work that went into those old paint jobs and how he'd go the extra mile with a few little techniques to make it come out nicely. I've always really liked his paint, but since then I've admired his paint work even more. I wonder if you could get him to paint a bike today. This one is built up in classic 1988 era stuff. It's got all the neat WTB stuff from the day and even a WTB pump inside the Fixed Angle seat post.
