1994 WTB Phoenix SE
The Wilderness Trail Bikes Phoenix utilized the geometry, sloping toptube, and over-sized tubing concept of the aluminum Cunningham Racer. This steel model was constructed by WTB co-founder and legendary frame builder Steve Potts, and receives the SE designation for having a rollercam boss for the rear brake. This Phoenix is built with a host of rare and custom made parts, including a fixed angle seatpost, lever link brake on a suspension fork, and a prototype drop bar mounting system for 9 speed Shimano trigger shifters.
