Stumpy or no?

Possible local find.

Biplane fork crown seems nicer finished, seatpost clamp seems the same to me and a bit different as well.

Paging T-Mar with incomplete s/n.

The parts alone (King headset and CNC'd brakes) are likely worth the price of entrance.

It may be the same color as this?

Strawberry



MB-1



Acura/Honda Basque red, wasn't my choice per se but a fantastic color and gets compliments wherever I go.
