Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Lug appreciation pic o' the Week

Yes, its back. For the moment anyhow. As Deathhare mentioned in another post, I could leave and never come back.... I just ask one favor, please dont ask "why isnt it a track bike?" or something ******** like that. If this gets ugly, I will cease from posting them anymore.

The purpose of this thread is to expose high quality builders, whom are also attending NAHBS.
All pics are copywritten and may not be used for any other purpose other than this one time use on this forum. All rights reserved by North American Handmade Bicycle Show.
All Photos taken by Jessica Lifland of San Francisco.

Now, sit back and enjoy as we try (again) to bring you some gorgeous pics from the 2007 NAHBS.


Todays Framebuilder is my personal favorite. Roland Della Santa of Reno, NV.
Super crisp lines and impeccable paint make this a gorgeous bike.

Not sure Lemond ever rode a Huffy. I am pretty sure he made some of his tour bikes tho.

Maybe he doesnt, but if I had my hands on that blue/gold frame people would be posting articles about me molesting a bicycle.

Don, if you want content control over all the posts in this thread, that is really the kind of thing that blogs are perfect for. If you want people to share, then that is what a forum is for.

I would certainly read a NAHBS lug-shot blog.

you know, I really thought twice about posting this stuff. I understand your sense of humor. Believe it or not, I have one, too and can play along just fine.

What I dont understand the ******* that continue to want to hijack a thread...? Maybe its just I dont "get it" with bikeforums and the people that dont understand english?

There was a reason I left here, and its abundantly clear that it hasnt changed a bit...

I would think that if that's how you feel you should leave again. I'm not sure there's a single other person who starts a thread and demands that everyone follow their arbitrary rules. Why not just post pictures you like and let it go where it will? There are other people who have pics of lugs they like. Simply because they're not going to be featured in the show you're putting together seems like a silly reason for you to bunch up on the first page of this thread. I liked it better when you were gone.

OK. You seem to have a positive perspective on the whole thing. Let's hope the name calling will stay on the first page.
