Teacher?s notes: Aesthetically, the BOH is a ten, and its sharp steering and quick acceleration back up its radical elevated chainstay profile. As a true mountain bike, it falls short?especially when the trail is rough and fast. The Mrazek may be the ultimate retro racer.
A less expensive version of the frame without nickel plating and smoothed welds is offered for $939.
