RETROTEC Twin-Top Disc CX / DieHard 56

Early morning, August 24, 2014. A magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck Napa, California, shaking the RetroTech Cycles workshop like maracas and requiring them to live without power for a while. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but the body of his beloved Isetta was dented, and his disc cross bike, which won an award at the NAHBS that year, was pinned under a falling mill.... It is a miracle, he says, that there was no other major damage. We had ordered a die-hard Retrotec DiscCX, which he must have said "This is just a scratch..." at the time, hoping for a speedy recovery from the earthquake. My wife Mitzi, who was enjoying a bit of survival, and Curtis, who was able to get back to his daily life as soon as possible, were working hard on the frame again, and after about half a year, this is the frame that finally arrived at our hands.

Carved twin tops with scalloped paint. It has retro-tech specs and the same two-tone finish as the award-winning bike. The racing colors are a tribute to the Ferrari 250 GTO that raced at Le Mans in the 1960s. It makes one's heart beat faster.
