Santana Sovereign - Large

This is a late 1990's Santana Sovereign, size large. Not sure of the exact year. We purchased this bike new from Paul Stumpy at Garner's Pro Bike Shop. Almost all of the parts on this bike are upgrades from what Santana shipped on this frame stock. This bike has been lovingly maintained and upgraded. While it has definitely been ridden, from a distance it could almost pass for new.


Note picture shows spare stoker seatpost installed and a front wheel with a different hub than is currently installed.

The geometry of the frame is:
