1983 Direct Link
I always admired Jon's DL and always wanted to get my hands on one....so 1 day a friend of mine gives me a call and let's me know 1 maybe up for sale and gave me the number. Lucky for me it was from a collector who took great care of this example-a lightly built NOS frame set. No serial number and an undrilled fork. I really didn't know what I was going to do for a color scheme as the yellow stickers always kept me guessing. I really never had a real plan and would pick up parts when I thought I would see something that I would think would look good. I always wanted a nice HF hub because of the way the rear drop outs would give a great view of the hubset. So one day I saw the padset and the rest of the parts fell into place even thought the stem pad was a double pad that I had a seemstress alter into a regular width pad. THE PARTS:
