    No it is a real "glass eye"! I contacted a company down in San Diego that made glass eye prosthetics back when I made the 25A series cruisers because I wanted to place one in the billet stem of my personal bike (the Bitch). I was able to talk to the owner of the company and he thought my idea...

    Fat Chance Kickstarter

    I have to laugh about all the Fat Chance "verbiage", because my best friend for over 40 years is John Troja. He was Chris's partner & creator of the brand Fat Chance. Don't get me wrong, Chris was ( is ???) a frame builder, but couldn't run a business if his life depended on it! My joke used to...

    Yesterday I saw a Flying Cat

    I just pored myself a cup of Joe and I looked out the kitchen window and saw a black and white feral cat that had been "slinking" around our front yard for the last couple of weeks start flying high up into the 300' tall Eucalyptus trees on the west side of my property. The cat did not seem...

    Worst/Funniest experiences buying used bikes?

    My most "unique" experience was back in the late 80's when I bought NOS 1950's Hetchins track bike from a fellow in LA. He had me meet him on the back side of Los Angeles airport at the private plane hangers. I got there before he did and there wasn't a soul around, dark, and creepy. I'm...

    Cook Bros Stem in 1 1/4 real or fake?

    Yes that was one of our first Mt. bike stems. I started producing them for a couple of reasons, first being that none of the other early stem fabricators were making their stems at a higher angle that myself & fellow RADS (down in Laguna) needed for the "cliff diving" trails that we were...

    Cook Bros Stem in 1 1/4 real or fake?

    FAKE! CBR never made 1 1/4" fork anything! They did make a few of the "VGS" series stems in 1 1/8" though.

    Repurposing Vintage Bicycle Parts

    I just repurposed a Lista Machine tool cart into a stereo cart for a MONSTER vintage 1970's stereo. The stereo was the sound system for the auditorium of a small ultra liberal collage in the NE USA that went bankrupt in the mid 1970's. The dear friend that gave it to me was a photography...

    Which model ti bike has these dropouts?

    If my memory serves me (Don't bet money on that)... The Lynskey brothers started Litespeed then years later sold the company and one of the brothers kept building framesets using his last name.
