Bolt from Boston
Size 55ish I think. The LB was the only bike in Crusts lineup I wasnt really drawn to, but turns out its the best bike they make. Everything besides headset, chain, tape, rims and saddle were sourced second hand/used. Grabbed the frame from someone on the Crust forums up in Portland ME, and painstakingly sourced parts from people all over the northeast. Lots of brass bits and bobs thrown in to match the head badge. The front derailleur was near impossible to find bottom pull with the correct clamp size, so I had to buy a NOS one from ebay that next to the frame is the most expensive part on the bike... figures. Something something... supple... lightweight... planing... Jan Heine... low trail forever. Had a better photo of the full build but look at those ducks, very fitting for a bike in Boston
