e*thirteen history box

OK,
Here's another relic from the box. This is the SRS formula. It didn't really get much usage as a guide and was mostly limited to a handfull of riders and was available on the webstore for a short time as well. This guide featured a carbon fiber backplate and an ultra thin (at the time) Supercharger bashguard. I couldn't find the OG hardware but it was all "superlight M6 hardware". Pretty mind blowing stuff at the time though weighing in, as-is at 305g w/o chainring bolts.
Some of these parts went on to prototype the early XCX system in 2004(5 years prior to its official release).

Are you sure?
Did you have to drill larger holes in the downtube mounting bracket to get that in there? ..Can't remember which frame I saw that done on.

yep, its a Avy DHS on there. they supplied new bolts with the shock but i didnt have to modify anything. best thing i ever did to that bike. the Van RC that came on there wasnt even in the same league. hell, it wasnt in the same sport

Recall seeing pics of that carbon guide on a bike ... might have been on CG's or Hill's ride? Don't remember.

HA! Gotta love the wayback machine! Some drop shadow'd, beveled and embossed things should stay in the past...

Thank you for less bevel /emboss. You're a gentileman and a scollar.

Not a fan of that bevel/emboss of old... just used a little gradient to make give it some depth.
