From Trash to Treasure - The Frog Bike Experiment

Save your old bikes and turn them into something wonderful. 
This is my bicycle build from a yardsale / scrapyard rescue to one of the best bikes I've ever built.  A lot of work was done on this bike to turn it into the best bike for my intended purpose.  This bike does it all, from commuting to work and back or to travel around the world!
1993 Rocky Mountain Fusion frame.  Tange cromoly, triple butted,. extremely lightweight for an all steel frame.  All Deore LX or XT groupset, some NOS.   Mavic SUP 121 Ceramic hoop with DT Swiss spokes, NOS XT hubs.  Schwalbe Marathons.







Here's a video of the build that I am sure you will enjoy.  https://youtu.be/tfKcYqZooOA

  1. Awesome build, and one of my favourite bikes in your collection. Just goes to show that you can turn what looks like trash into valued and useful treasure. That bike could truly take you across the world.
