Hi Ryan, I think we may have been in touch when I was researching the Imron Harvest Gold color.
I'll make a new post to detail specifics since this thread isn't about the sale of this frameset, but to answer your question: I didn't intend to sell it but I'm trying to reduce the amount of things I have. I have an Appaloosa and a Romulus , so the Sam sort of sits in between them. As much as it's been with me for 13 years or so, I am resisting the pull of emotional attachment to an object. If anyone is thinking about working with Jack at Franklin, I can strongly recommend him. But make sure you have patience as it will take months. thanks Jason On Monday, October 24, 2022 at 12:49:43 PM UTC-4 Ryan wrote: > Yup...in 2001 I had my Riv Road (Curt Goodrich-built) painted Imron > Harvest Gold.
