I think it's only a fitting that a frame that took you many a years to obtain has taken you many a years to repair and build up. Give it a decade, I'll be waiting.

Long time in coming, but well worth the wait.

this one has been nothing but grief. working on a new fork option now.
once that is sorted who knows might get it done this year. but no promises.
in the mean time here's a picture of it at harald's getting painted.

You cant rush perfection.

paul brodie sent me this picture some time ago. yet to confirm, if i ever will be able to.
but i think it's my frame. has same characteristics as mine. since records show only 9
horny toads were made and all the others known to exist don't resemble this particular
frame design i am assuming it may be the only one of it's kind.
shows the owner used this bike, used it hard. i think this damage precedes the breaking of the
frame in half which ended it's life and it became a wall hanger. that is until i got it.
paul said picture was taken at one of the test of metal races up at whistler back in the 90's.
