Beauty

Love the rack and plus I'm friendly with anyone who shellacs and rides in the snow. Could do without the dummy brake lever and maybe a nicer bottle cage.

Submitted by bite on 04/21/2007.

Don't you need some sort of toe clips? Pretty bike in a Japanese way!

All nice

Submitted by Machu Picchu on 03/11/2007.

I just discovered both your bikes (the ones on this site, anyway). Once again, a pleasure to see. Nice design and execution. I'm jealous. Enjoy.

excellent

Submitted by audioel on 01/31/2007.

The whole bike is beautiful, but those bars are amazing! I wish I could find something like them - I don't like how moustache bars end up pointed straight back, and I wish other bars like the dove or north-road had a larger diameter bend.

Very nice all around.

Beautiful bike...love the paint color!

Submitted by ruthless dictator on 01/02/2007.

Love the front rack. Have you had a load on it yet? I also like the strung and shellacked h/bar. Is that ti or stainless?

Very classy ride!

The front rack and h-bar

Submitted by shortpants51 on 01/03/2007.

I carried a stuffed backback (including two bottles of wine) on the rack from Kenosha up to my girlfriend's outside of Milwaukee (about 45 miles). It was probably between 10-15 pounds and the bike handled really well. It was still too twitchy to ride no-handed, but I'll build the next fork with a little more offset it should do just fine.

The handlebars are 4130 (cromoly steel) that's been treated inside and out with linseed oil for rust protection.

I had a local powder-coating operation do the paint (the color is "cream") and I like it too, though it never looks clean. Thanks for the compliments on the bike.

Keep an eye out for more of them.

Nice build

Submitted by El Duke on 02/20/2007.

I want something like that; a cross-frame for commuting, touring and general riding. The track bike is fun and all but I need something for centuries etc.
