It is #405Y3SM, but was purchased in 1994. It is a small medium size. I am the 4th owner of the frame. It was originally teal, but I had it re-sprayed Team Violet by D&D cycles out in San Lorenzo, California. I supplied the FAT decals (I was one of the lucky ones that received them from Wendyll along with NOS anti-suck chain device and NOS seatpost gasket). D&D also re-sprayed the fork. The Rockshox Judy SL decals I had replicated by Velographics. Everything is NOS or as close to mint as I could find. It is not period correct, but close enough for my liking. It is more of a mid 90's build.

I have invested a lot of money into this bike ($2300) and hope to get my money back out for a new 650b custom single speed project. I know this is a lot of money, but the components are getting harder and harder to find in this condition unless you own First Flight
At this point I am offering the complete bike and do not want to get into splitting it up just to keep things simple and test the waters. I am nervous about shipping over seas because I have been burned before with no recourse. It has not been ridden except for lightly riding up and down my neighborhood street just to feel it once in a while. It rides great! and is precise.
The serial number is no longer present due to the nice paint job. I have complete documentation that the serial number is for this bike and is Somerville built.
PM me if you have questions. I hate to part with it, but I do not need a show bike. I need another rider. If you choose to flog it, then all the better for it to do what it was meant for. I will work out shipping arrangments if it gets that far.
Peace.....................
