I already have 2 project in the making , but I just had to buy this Pearson anyway. So far I don't have too much information on the bike, but I am quite fascinated by the way the frame looks.
The frame is made by a builder from New Zealand called Pearson. I already contacted Graeme Pearson from Pearson Composites in New Zealand, but he didn't build it: "No, luckily I didn't make that. I think some guy in the south island was making those and mtb's years back." Above the 'Weka' decal it says 'road series' so I am not sure if this frame was actually meant to be built up as a time trial bike. The design seems to be inspired by early mountain bikes.The frame is red anodized, which explains why the welds look so fugly.
Wheels are 'Elite-Shape' which I believe was a Russian (USSR) company that also made kevlar disc wheels. The wheels look quite fascinating and have seen very little use.
Any more information on the frame(builder) and wheels would be greatly appreciated.
