Mr. Spwal mentioned this thread and asked me to make some remarks. Having been the guy that welded these bikes together, I can assure you that we made frames in different configurations as required. It could certainly be a repair or something made out of spare parts at any point in time. We...

Gus, the owner of Arrow has been around nearly as long as I, though he might say the opposite. He may have been the first person to build a dedicated slalom frame and has been developing/re-branding tires and rims for many years. Here is a link to Arrow. 'nice folks...

I have been collecting for a while and also make frames and do mechanical repairs. I have restored some really old rusty bikes and greatly enjoy it. I would like to get a 1930's -1950's British racing bike (all UK). I would prefer something unusual and challenging. I am able to fabricate parts...

Thank you so very much for allowing me to post information on this auction. The bike sold last night and I am thrilled with the result! Cheers, Frank

Hi, I worked at Yeti for a while and built this Yeti (I built the frame and may be the fork and welded the cranks, help design the stem and grips and brake levers and who knows what?) I used to ride it when I would visit my friends in SoCal. I pretty much forgot about it at some point. My...

The first release of the Ringle posts were thinner material than later versions. It is likely yours is one of the few 1st get posts that made it to the public.

Pics?

Here is some more information. I hope this makes sense, I tend to ramble on. When welding aluminum, you really get very little weld penetration. If you were to cut the frame apart, you might see "drop-though" but very little penetration. Also, welding softens the material quite a bit. The...

The issue with that frame is not the risk of the head tube breaking off, it's there is no longer any pressure holding the cup. Its "sprung". Put the bike on the wall. All metals are subject to fatigue failure. Aluminum has the lowest threshold for fatigue damage of materials used to make frames.

I hope he returns to form and reaches his goals. Few of us know the kind of pressure one might have faced in his situation. Good luck man!

Nice, I remember that race, Tomac's chainrings came loose. I have a home video from that weekend that I need to get converted at some point.

Thanks for the update! Seller has offered to ship to London address to streamline the process.

I purchased several of these parts, sent the funds and have been waiting for some information. It has been a few weeks and some update would be much appreciated.

I think the Valkyrie built by richard cunningham was the first modern E-stay bike. I may be mistaken however.

I doubt it is as beautiful as yours.

I found a Grandis recently with full panto SR. It's lovely and my size.

whoa, seeing that pic of the cap with no hole gave me shivers. That is a really old one, from the bikes made in San Fernando or Burbank. When I started welding the forks, I was gradually allowed to make subtle changes (as mentioned) Among those, was using a vent hole. Since John lived near the...
