When I got this frameset from Jason early 2024 it was, let's say, very well ridden and scratched all over. So after a lot of love and dedication it's now close on being a perfect restoration.
As one of my all-time favourite riders, building a Ned Overend replica bike was my goal. It took me a while on finding most of the correct parts for this build, such as the old TNT crankset.
Build with lot's of his sponsored parts from Zoom, Avid and Specialized's own parts, it surely became a piece of art to my opinion.
