Land Shark

This Land Shark comes to me second hand. I purchased it from someone in Medford, OR which is the town where John Slawta, the builder, works. The builder is well known not only for high quality frames, but also for very unique and excellent paint jobs. I wanted to make this bike more personal, so I sent the frame back to the builder for a fresh paint job which is what you see here. I was able to speak to him on the phone and was very friendly and helpful in talking about the painting process. He even painted a carbon fork for me although that isn't supposed to be part of the refinish cost.

The bike rides very smoothly. I used to have a nice aluminum frame (Moser) and when I switched to this bike, the ride quality was wonderful and very refreshing. I don't know the weight exactly, but it is very light for a steel bike.

All in all, I would recommend a 'Shark.
