nice paint job
nice presentation
is that all there is... or is it a solid bike?

I like it
this is sort of the utilitarian bike company that I was envisioning when I was dreaming of starting a bicycle company with my friend Gibbey oh so many years ago

the prototype for our bike company is in my garage right now
the industry was different then
the world was different then
all our communication was done by FAX MACHINE
that dream was in a pre-Internet World!
