Title: My XTC short wheelbase a few miles from home
Post by: PhilD28 on April 03, 2018, 03:51:46 pm

My XTC short wheel base, lugged and brazed semi compact frame built by Kevin Sayles around 2000. Owned from new, original XT hubs but I've re rimmed the wheels myself a couple of times.
I have quite a few bikes but this is still a great all round fast touring bike.

The location is up the head of Teesdale about 5 miles from my home, a nice area.

He did, this frame is as nicely constructed as either my Dave Yates Hosteller or Chas Roberts Roughstuff.
