Rare Vintage Early 90s Brave Mountain Bike Frame 26in Rim Brake Made in USA

This frameset is in good overall condition considering its age. The paint was stripped by the previous owner. The identifier as to this being a vintage Brave frame is the "TET" stamped into the bottom bracket shell, signifying Tom Teesdale built this frame. The bottom bracket threads are in great functional condition. There is a small dent in the downtube (see photos). The frame was sanded slightly to see the depth of the rust, which we believe has not damaged the frame. This frame is within industry standards of alignment. This frame has plenty of life left to give.
