a little retrofit love from the Bilenky Boys

[Baroudeur]

Wow.....couldn't find a beater to travel with? That's a pretty sweet ride to be hacking up (even though I know those guys do great work).

[taz]

that is the beater

but seriously - a dent in the dt made it a good candidate and the couplers will add some versatility. On e-richie's short list for a new one also.

That is almost as painful to look at as a live circumcision......

Hey, when you posted that on the Serotta forums, I asked you if it was available and you said you sent it to Bilenky. Very nice to see it progress.

Where in at Atlanta are you? I was in Cumming (that's what she said) last weekend and it was pretty nice up that way. Thinking about moving the family there.

That is rad...I just put down the deposit today to have them do the same thing with my Vanilla.

SIKE! I'm actually sending them a used legend Ti to hack up. Not cheap but should be a wicked travel rig all said and done. Gotta like the work from them bilenky boys.

That frame was beat maaaaaan, I def. saw some paint chips...good call ;)

Seriously, good call. It's a bike for gosh sakes NOT a museum piece.

Cool! Butted ti? Post some pics when you get your ti back from Bilenky. I have a ti that I'm considering hacking. I think Bilenky and Ti Cycles are the main two that retrofit titanium.

curious as to the cost, if not being to personal.

I'm on the south side, very near the airport. The Cumming area is pretty nice with some good riding. I'm a native Atlantan and still think of that area as 'country' but it's really a bedroom community now. If I were moving OTP (outside the Perimeter), I'd definitely pick the north side of town or beyond.

There are a few really nice neighborhoods, but I wish it had a nice little town area. My wife made the comment that if you could put the Greenville, SC downtown in the center of Cumming, it'd be a pretty nice place.

On e-richie's short list for a new one also.

theres a short list?

[taz]

theres a short list?

yeah - give him some cash and wait 4 or 5 years and you're on it. At least i think i'm on it... wait, there is a list, right?

e-richie was an early proponent of couplers. My first sight of them, Interbike show 1993, the bikes in their (S&S's) booth were a Sachs and a Waterford.

Nice. Are you going to be building it up right away?

p.s. New fork or just new steerer?

Original fork with new steerer. I don't know when I'll build. I have most of the kit but free time is pretty limited lately.
