the maruishi which rocks

Submitted by Joe Loco on 02/04/2006.

Vamp,

I most certainly remember seeing this when it was on fgg (seems like years ago) -- at the time I was putting together a Maruishi conversion, and yours showed up there and, well, pretty much blew everything I'd previously seen out of my mind!

Those wheels are just ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. How the HECK did you come by those? That guy should think about reviving them... of course you've already got the originals. Wow, I can't believe I still am lusting over those.

I was going to say - if

I was going to say - if there ever was a track bike my girlfriend and I both slobbered over it would have to be this ride.

Any chance you could upload some larger/more photos?
