Phoenix 93 in Mikes V.´s Shop #93197! (a twist in serial number had occured prior the stripping) im Album #a) B2 Wtb Phoenix SE (Proto DIA & Cunningham O Potts - MtnTrans Team Trailmaster Archive)🔧🔗

All of Steves work is beautiful,
his early constructions especially
much attention to detail & some of the largest, smoothest fillets ever done (remember all that has to be ever so carefully filed after)

The Phoenix however with a lot of Cunningham input became what Steve continued all the way with his titanium frames later

In regards to someone asking about serials and production numbers/annual output of frames during the Phoenix days: Here CC replies

I'm sure Steve didn't make anything close to 300 frames a year...ever! (Charlie answers a particular notion here). I recall it was rare to make more than 50 of all kinds a year, even in the most productive years. But, I will ask Steve since he did the welding and brazing on all the Phoenix frames. Too bad he doesn't use a computer. I'm sure he would like to talk about these things with folks that are interested. I should be seeing him in the next couple weeks and will try to remember to ask.

more from Charlie ..

Cunningham also mentioned that there was no real record of how many phoenix frames were made (a year), which leads to the conclusion of mixed serials among all of Steves works those days

Some Phoeni* were made with prototype/custom light weight tubing:
"Charlie has (..had, which is now at MWC) a Phoenix (#brown#dropbars) with True Temper and he said he didnt care so much for its whippiness compared to the OS Logic frames..." - narrated by Dave L.

Essentially all Phoenix frames sold under the WTB label back then where "Steel-Cunninghams" Mostly designed by Charlie with many a detail hidden in its sophisticated construction and choise of newly available tubing.

ps
frame ended up stripped due to a minor repair, which lead to the SE (Rollercam) conversion after speaking to Steve Potts
