PMC was around in the mid 90's. I have a thing for them. They are as light as a pair of 7900 Dura Ace cranks, but the bottom bracket isn't the lightest. If you're not trying to stay era correct, a pair of Rhythm Pro cranks should be lighter with bottom bracket. My bike will be mixed between 90's and now. I really don't care about being era correct. I am going to get one of the Answer Dagger or Answer Scythe forks and put it on there.

Nice, I may think of getting a scythe or bombshell or dagger for mine as well. I'll try to be staying era correct for everything. Wouldnt the era for this be new school?

If so, I just want the full lightest possible weight race bike but with some exotic as possible cranks that are light as possible. I'm hoping for cranks in white or ano green.

Well that sounds like an awesome build also. It's good to hear that you are building it up also. Show some pictures when it arrives.

I hope you are getting your frame soon. I decided to hang my Auburns together and take a picture to make you drool a little more. I got the brakes, headset should arrive today, and forks hopefully by the end of the week. By the way. Seatpost is  not a 28.6mm. It is larger than 27.2, and smaller than 28.6. I'm just going to use a shim and use the 27.2 to make it easier.

SORRY ABOUT THE MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF PACKING PUFFS.

Ididnt even care, I was like a kid in a candy store, or on Christmas getting a gift and opening it up. The wind caught the packing peanuts and started scattering them everywhere. I had to hold and caress the new auburn. That's all I cared about.

Just picked up the green one in the fs section and can't wait to join this club.  I haven't desided on how I'm going to fix the rear up yet it's between polished, black or blue.  But I got another set of these blue Rythym cranks that are going to be sweet on it.

Congrats. I just got mine and I am still amazed how sick of a frame this is. It's so light and strong.

Take some pics. I love pics.

Does the sticker on the seatmast say it's made in USA?

Mine just came in, I'll get some pics up when I get it unpacked.  It would seem as it might be a prototype as it dosnt have the A in the rear of the top tube behind the seat.

I'm leaning towards polishing the rear to look like the great 90's bikes, but the shop I want to use is closed this week.  Either way from the few specs I've measured so far it looks to be a comfortable quick frame.  22" TT. 14 7/8" min on the chain stays.  And the seat post is a 28.2 but uses the 31.8 clamp.

sweet i say either get the rear chromed or sand to a shine either way its going to look badass.

those looks like ufo spaceships. 

The headtube angle on mine feels odd. I've never  had a 24" cruiser (only 20" bmx or 26" dirt jumpers), so I have nothing to compare to, but when I stand up to sprint, it feels different.

Not feeling the polished rear without the chrome fork.  So I'm going to try it out in black and see if I like that more.

Looks cool still, the seat is way too high I think though. Maybe your bars are not back or forward enough.......

Really happy with how it turned out.  Only thing left that's bugging me is the seat post clamp.  Can't find a matte black w/ blue bolt to match the stem.  But that shouldn't be to hard to mix and match to get one.  And my son enjoyed his first ride on a Auburn also, as evident by the wee-ride bar.
