A lost friend found!
Check this frame out. This is my old custom made Ahrens Design Group/Rock Lobster DS bike aptly named the "Duaal Slalaam" (now the Gate Slamer) by its creator Mike Ahrens. This was the bike which led to a lot of mike's now insane designs he's working hard on these days back in Cali.
The picture here looks nothing like how I had it set up but the frame is still the Newcastle Broiwn Ale Yellow I asked it to be painted! Imagine a White Brothers DC110, MRP Chain Guide, Syncros short stem, deep bend Azonic Rizers, low SDG saddle (like this guy has on...maybe that's the orginal), 8 speed XTR set up.
I had the bike built in 99, raced it for a couple of DS seasons then I sold the bike it to Vision Cyclery in SF (not sure if they exist but here's the way back machine to the rescue...)and they sold it on. Anyways, this who took the pic guy bought the bike and now uses it as an urban bomber as you can see.
Anyways, an old friend found.
