Daedalus Mountain Bike 1990ish 5
Together with Kent Ericksen of Moots I designed and built a series of mountain bike frames in about 1990. Six were built and sold to friends to race and test. I believe most of them still exist.
Each frame was slightly different, in order to test a method I'd developed for ovalizing the main tubes. This, my own bike, was (for the time) crazy light. The tubing came mainly from a light Tange Prestige road set. It's not very stiff but I did race it for years without ever breaking it.
Though equipped for derailleurs it's currently built up as a single-speed to ride trails with my son.
