1991 Rock Lobster

Rock Lobster is one of the few companies that is still around in it's original format.  Many of the similar companies (Ibis, Mountain Goat) are no longer with us and others (Salsa, Bontrager) have been bought out.  Paul Sadoff is still building bikes very similar to this one.  This particular frame has the "team " fillet brazing which is a lesser finished fillet to save on cost.  The straight bladed fork and stem have been made and painted to match.  If you are interested in having a frame made for you, let us know and we can work with Paul to create your dream bike.

Thanks to Paul for loaning this bike to our museum so that others can enjoy it.
