I know we're 5 pages in to this discussion but shouldn't this now be moved to 'Off Topic' as it is now solely about the quality of Rody's frames which are not truely what this forum is about. Lovely (in my opinion) as they are, they are new bikes (admittedly with a nice retro feel to them).
I will agree with one of the original posters views in that there is a bit of Tail wagging Dog, but in a good way. We do get people posting bikes up here that then spark other peoples memories and imaginations. Just look back at the Trimble Trickle we had a year or so back, then there was the Funk Flurry followed by the Pace RC100 Posse. Even the mention and posting of an EWR has got a number of people interested. That sort of pollenation of thoughts is good for a site like this!
