More Info:
This was built for me way back. It was an exciting experience, but the bike felt instantly great. I also ordered a hardtail from Mr. Donohue, took ages to deliver as the package had been sent to Helsinki, Norway... Stupidly enough, I sold that bike later.

I have a friend that's in the market for one of these frames, let me know if you're thinking of selling!

I've spent last 15 years of my life with this bike, so it's not very probable that I will ever sell it. I see that you have an affinity on Donohues... Like the red one a lot.

Ah, apologies then for asking, didn't realise it was such a long term affair! Yes I love mine, great frames, so lively. one of my friends has been trying to buy one the same size for over a month but the seller has stopped responding so I'm just looking around for him.

The yellow on yours is really smart!

No problem! In fact it's a bit flattering that someone is interested. What makes mine a bit special is that I never really liked the Paul Donohue decals and was brave enough to ask him whether he could omit the Paul part, which he did. Haven't seen this decal variation elsewhere. However, it would really need a respray and that's when you lose that uniqueness.
