looking foer a dwight schuh composite frame

LAST EDITED ON Apr-22-11 AT 06:34PM (MST)[p]

EDIT-- i really am proud of my spelling, i was 2nd in the second grade spelling bee, thus the reason i just spelled the title of my thread with a "foer" when it should say "for"

or i think it's also called the"peak 1" frame.

i have the dwight schuh pack, or had it, but last year on a sheep hunt i used just the frame to pack out the sheep. well that frame got left, on accident, on the river bank

i cant just go back and get it, the trip was a 68 mile river float, and during the winter the water gets 10 times the river flow that it was when we floated it. i'm going on that float this summer, but i'm sure it's washed away.

SO----- does anybody have an idea where i could buy one?

the new version of the "dwight schuh" pack has a smaller frame and wont work.

before anyone recommend i get a new pack, like badland/eberly/etc..-- i hade a j-107 that i really hated, i have a badlands 2800 and like it, but i still love my dwight schuh pack the most and would REALLY like to get the frame for it.
thanks guys-300

thanks cous, but that one is smaller than mine.
i have a buddy who has the new ones, his is 28"tall and 13 "wide, same as the one listed.

i have another buddy who bought my same pack at the same time, his frame is 34"tall and 15" wide.

the second one is the one i need.

thanks very much though-300

I have the older Coleman frame that Schuh used originally. Its got a coleman Peak [something] bag on it. Whats it worth to you?

i'll send a p.m. to you. if it's the same size as the one i have i'll figure out a deal that will work for you.

His 1st pack was built on a Peak 1 youth frame. He then added the full size peak 1 frame. You want the full size frame.

i have a buddy who bought one at the same time as me, and also a buddy who just bought one a year ago. your correct, mine is a couple inches taller and wider. i've found a few smaller ones but yet to find a big one.

I have 2 Dwight Schuh packs and I love em. I bought my first one when they first came out. However I lo9st the pack that came with it, so I am stuck with just the frame and the fanny pack. So I purchased a new one 2 years ago.

Someone just posted this in the classifieds, thought you should have a look and see if it's what you're looking for. I hope this is the one for ya.
