Davidson Impulse

I saw this auction in the last minute and on impulse (of course), pulled the trigger with 11 seconds to go...can't wait for it to arrive after its cross country trip...I've read nothing but positive reviews of Davidsons...

Very nice - you're going to love the way it rides. Looks very clean - bet you did extremely well on that one.

Nice.

You came within a "sizing issue" of bidding against me.

I sent the seller a request for a better description of sizing and found out it was a little large.

Looks like a very nice frameset for that coin.

Congrats!

Yes, that frameset is the prize.

No doubt.

Email the builder about the frame material: https://davidsonbicycles.com

Good luck.

Nice - I've come close to buying a Davidson a couple of times. What's with the "pie plate"?

I know...that threw me a little bit too, but, I didn't have time to ask the owner where it came from...it won't be on the bike for long...

That saddle is worth the price of admission. The plush, couchey feel is second to none.

LOL...I'm hoping there is a nice saddle underneath that cover, but I'm not holding my breath...
