The above frame is not yet built up. I purchased it slightly used in '93 from a guy who ran an add in dirt rag. So, I have a relatively "new" FRO sitting in my garage waiting for parts!!, and no it's not for sale. Frank and I are going to build it up as an extra bike for when we do team 24 hour events, and I'd like to have a steel bike built up to ride besides my Yellow Trek Y carbon fiber Fully. On anoter note my Yellow trek has a mostly purple parts on it and looks great, rides great too!

I ride with Frank B.
I have a FRO numbered 1365. bought the frame fork n stem new in '90. The shop here in Seattle called down to look for a 20" I could have now and not wait for a build....and whoever answered the phone said they had a black one that had been sitting around in a back room and I could have that if I wanted. Maybe it was built in '89....mystery....also dont know if thats where they found it or not but it makes it all cool.

Frame # 2193
Year purchased 1992 or 1993
Blue ? 1989/90 FRO PRO (bought frame 3rd hand therefore unsure) Owned since 1994.
No 985
One of the very last Pro F.R.O.s, assumingly the last yellow one:
#3220 17,5" bought in June 1995
just purchased 88 fro? serial # 715. Gussets on chainstay and seat tube? any info would be great

1986-7? FRO, turquoise, 19", 1" headtube, old style FD cable routing, round TT, Simplex dropouts, .833 Yeti/Cook Bros. stem, original Cook Bros bottom bracket, 120mm rear dropout spacing. Andrew says the "XR" was used in the early serial numbers because JP really liked the Harley XR dirt track bikes.
After 18 years finally scraped the paint off the bb. Yeti FRO purchased in 1989; SN 685.
