This bike originally belonged to the frame builder, Chris Kvale. Since it was his personal bike, he didn't spare any expense building it. The bike has some neat tricks, like the backwards mounted brakes, and both brakes are controlled with one brake lever. It's LIGHT too. It weighs in at just over 16 lbs, with pedals. Not bad for a geared steel bike, eh?

Yes, I bought this bike from Chris Kvale when I was in Minneapolis. It was hanging in his shop, and after finding out he didn't ride anymore, I knew SOMEONE had to ride it. The build is his, and I haven't changed a thing.
