1991 Rock Lobster MODA

Paul had a customer who really liked there Santana MODA frame and asked him to duplicate it.  This bike is the result.  The frame was the same as the MODA down to the tubing and details.  The very cool paint was applied by  Mark Bunten (AKA Dr. Deltron) and features a gray to white fade with a "honeycomb" overlay on the gray portions.  The fork and stem are painted to match.  Other than the cool frame, the parts are a pretty standard Shimano Deore XT kit.
