The FS 4x bike (the only one that isn't one of ours, an Ironhorse mkIII)
26" dirtjump bike
Not included;
Ritchey Road Logic, Smorgasbord 853 crit bike, a couple of junk orbea cx frames, an Intense M1, all 13 of my old Spooky team bikes and a cannondale FS xc race bike, and a few miscellaneous projects that I built and then abandoned.
Way less super sweet road machines than you other cats, but then again, I'm 28 and grew up with all the wheelsizes to play with!

one of maybe two bike that i wish was still mine was a spooky metal head. i didn't have the skills, but it was such a fun bike. to this day i'm looking for one

I have 4 old ones here, but I can't sell them to you! They are; mine lucky #7, proto one, proto 2, and Japan #1)Originally Posted by Larry
I can't for the life of me to get motivated to make Metalheads any more though.... That segment of the market is glutted with cheap asian stuff that works ok, or the rad little guys who give a damn about that kind of stuff domestically mostly out of steel... Once the capital markets get shored up and I can get some well heeled Japanese guy to pay for a run up front, I'll make some more, but until then, pfft... (that is except for team bikes... must always build the bikes the racers ask for... it's in the blood)

i've got to add one more photo,
cause it looks like all my bikes don't get used...

they're clean.

That last pic is a nice one, like a jeep that has been rolled but still on the roll.
The qualities you are looking for in a leader include: Does the individual have the respect of the men? How do you get the respect of the men? By living with them, being a part of it, being able to understand what they are going through and not to separate yourself from them. You have to know your men. You have to gain their confidence. And the way to gain the confidence of anybody, whether it’s in war or civilian life or whatever, you must be honest. Be honest, be fair and be consistent. You can’t be honest and fair one day, and the next give your people the short end of the stick. Once you can achieve that, you will be a leader.

Grant,
You do have a beautiful collection, and their all just my size. It must be tough making a choice some days.

suspectdevice,
you singlehandedly drove up the price of tubing w/ all those bikes.
you should rebate all forum members $.16 each.
or send me $1,800 and i will distribute the money for you.

Mike,
Quick question for you....
What's the difference between going with straight bladed and raked forks? Aesthetics alone?
Just wonderin'
