Very rare 1998 Land Shark Road Shark 18 speed (2x9) road bike hand crafted by John Slawta. John has been handcrafting custom, lightweight, steel frames since 1982. Being a one-man show, Slawta is able to oversee every step of the manufacturing process. Landsharks have been ridden to victory in the World and U.S. Pro Championships and the Giro d’Italia. John only produces approximately 200 frames a year. There are only a handful of equally experienced full time builders in the USA, and most charge much more for work that is only a portion of the Landshark package. This bike is fitted with Ultegra components, including the crank, derailleurs, shifters and brakes. The headset is Dura-Ace.The frame size is 54 cm.
