Hey baron... have you ever been suckered? Being a collector of "something", doing as much research as you can on what you are trying to buy, seeing an ad posted for just that right "thing" you want to add to your collection, getting a hold of the seller that swears that what he is selling in...

Professor Buzz Kill checking in: You are better off just assembling and going out riding the bikes, rather than trying to get a "picture perfect" bike with all the correct logos because by making fake /counterfeit logos can potentially get you in trouble with the original manufactures or the...

"One step at a time Baron". Maybe rent space in someone else's shop? Maybe take a part of your apartment (like a closet) and that be your space, than grow as you need to. Getting your perfect work space is not a "linear" path, but just being motivated to create/ modify/ build will draw...

Fine finish and electrical area (I'm starting to build Ebikes).

What does a bottle or 2 of nail polish cost? a couple of quid? I'll bet you spent more than that last night at the local "watering hole". Just do it! Make mistakes!

Topline was a small CNC machine "job shop" that first started making crank arms for Gary Cook to compete against the company he sold off (Cook Bros. Racing). They then began making Grafton Joystix until where were so may structural failures they offered John Grafton another style of crank that...

Fake flight, made me think of hopping up & down while flapping your arms while you're squawking like a bird .;)

Funny you should post this right now because John T, Chris Chance's former partner is sitting next me drinking a chilly Sapporo beers right now. John has been my best friend for the last 40+ years. he lives 300 miles south of me so it is a real pleasure!

From what I can see of the front fork, it looks like a cargo bike with a smaller front wheel. My guess is that it is someones custom innovation/ restoration. VERY COOL, I'd own it!

Ti rings & spyder electron beam welded together.

he did get verrryyy aaanngryyy?! :mad: 🤬

No Scat! 🤣

Forgive me Tom, but it sure seems to me that you are posting on this "hobbyist/ collectors" site just to try to find work! "Low Budge" & low class! and it offends me and probably others! I'm sure that if you contacted one of the moderators you could negotiate a "right proper" ad and be a WHOLE...

Rod is/was "one odd duck"! A very close friend of mine (a brother from another mother) worked for him for a number of years and I actually flew up to Cave Junction, Oregon to discuss buying IRD from him and his partner (I have forgotten the fellows name... But he was the "brains"). Rod came...

Back in the day, we called it..."flavor of the month club"! My guess as to how to disseminate hierarchy would be the recently sold value of NOS collectable parts.

Early high-end components where chemically etched then laser etching became the #1 go to. Typically chain rings were milled logos where structural failure was rarely an issue. Stems, bars, and seatposts NEVER (at least from companies that knew their head from their ass)!

I've traded Emails with the guy and later learned he is also friend of a fellow that is a former employee/ good friend of mine. He is REALLY enthusiastic about the early Mt. Bike culture and has a collection of "world class" bikes. My guess is that he is doing this business for the love not the...

Mt. Cycle hardtail prototype maybe?

Too funny! The girl on the right was an old girlfriend of mine back in the early/ mid 80's. A REALLY GOOD RIDER! We pioneered a bunch of trails in Northern Baja, Mexico together.
