This is a damn cool ride.

This is a damn cool ride. How tall are you? Just wondering I totally relate but its a 63cm to start with then that seat height. I bet I'd feel normal standing next to you. Super nice.

That's a bold gearing ratio.

Submitted by robro on 04/06/2010.

That's a bold gearing ratio. Are there no hills where you live? And how tall are you?

This bike looks alive.

Awesome, aesthetically beautiful frame. Like if you were in a fix, you could shoot it and eat it.

This looks like a wild

Submitted by csettle on 11/16/2009.

This looks like a wild animal! I love it! I'm curious about the bars...are you ever nervous about its strength? Steel rod inside? Wrist sensitivities? I love the idea of mixing elements.

I'd be more worried about

Submitted by Carabo on 12/07/2009.

I'd be more worried about the width of the bars tbh!

No worries

Submitted by bobthefish on 11/16/2009.

Thanks. Sometimes it reminds me about a water buffalo...
Actually I am not worried about the handlebar at all. It is made of solid oak wood. Since it is so short the momentums right at the stem are quite low. Besides that I am not the type that gets up and uses the handlebar as a lever while accelerating. I have to admit that I was worried until I made a test and stood with all my weight on one end of the handlebar without breaking it. (The bar was clamped in a pipe for the test ;)

handlebars look very nice. also dig the cable housing, too!

ok, the seatpost close up looks extremely disgusting, btw. leather was not the first thing that came to mind when i saw it, lol!

Seeing your "Paper, Rock, Scissors"-Bike, I would like to give the question back to you. ;)
And yes, I am serious about it.
