Interesting bikes. If I remember correctly there were 12 built with the Ti rear end - welded by Steve Potts. Later they bought pre-fabed aluminim rear ends from over seas. The tubing for the front end is "horizontally butted" rather than being thicker at the ends, it is thicker on the top and bottom sections of the oval. Ventana used the same tubes in their Bruja - from what I'm told.

Never was a fan of URT's -sweet spots or otherwise - but if you're into cool, old school stuff, why not?

Dunno - that's what they told me when I worked there - if memory serves.

"43" might refer to the 4th bike of the 3rd lot?
