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!

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)

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)

wow! great bikes grant. very, very cool.

jim

in my own defense...

i've got to add one more photo,
cause it looks like all my bikes don't get used...
but that's just 'cause the camera is usually around when
they're clean.

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

Wow Zank! That's a lot of pretty bikes! You should post pix of Rebecca's bikes, as they are wicked awesome too.

Thanks to all the guys showing their stuff. I love your craft, skill.

suspectdevice,
you singlehandedly drove up the price of tubing w/ all those bikes.

Mike,

Quick question for you....

What's the difference between going with straight bladed and raked forks? Aesthetics alone?

Just wonderin'



William

Yes, in my view it's just aesthetics. The #2 bike will be her winter bike with fenders. I think fenders look good with curved blades.
