1995 Clayborn 24 prototype

Prototype frame.  I put 1995 since we have to enter a year, but the best anyone has been able to come up with is 'mid 90s'

1995 Clayborn 24
I thought a Clayborn would make a cool GJS throwback
Decided I needed a cruiser so I picked up this Clayborn prototype a few months ago. I thought it might be cool to do a kind of GJS throwback since they both have extra tubes up front. I also thought it would be clever to have a set of decals made with my initials and username (note the 'CEN.TEX.' in place of 'SO.CAL.'). Then to keep with the whole retro/throwback theme, I went with some newer parts that were modeled after the classic stuff. Special thanks to everyone who helped me out with parts / services
