Grove Innovations

Grove was a custom bike builder of the month back in the early 90's. They had a very innovative design, but didn't last too long. I think they make racing wheelchairs now.


X-Frame - This is a state-of-the-art (for 1991), custom built bike. Using the 'boom tube' style that Trimble carbon bikes also featured. Although it always seemed odd to me that it had a conventional rear triangle, and not elevated chainstays. Still, it's a very cool bike, and this one has obviously been pampered. It's all the best that 1991 had to offer; Manitou fork, Cook Bros crank, a Salsa stem, and best of all, 3D violet Control Tech bar ends. No bike was complete without some 3D violet in 1991.
