He does good work
Do you have to do the lottery thing for a SV ?
Nah, just get in line and shell out $2800.
Approve.

If you want a frame actually built by Sacha it's around a 5 year wait and a load of cash

Sorry Dustin I am clueless to the allure of this frame. Somebody have to fill me in?
Life is ****ing awesome. I hate working with it though... The seatstays especially give me hell. I always end up crimping them a little in my fixture. It's about time you got a custom frame for your freaky frame. I have a huge stock of those chainstays in their aluminum version... Wicked rad shaping and butting on those.
nice Dustin!! nice to see someone going with steel. so you gonna give any hints about the paint job or just make us wait till it's done?
He told me it will be a Hello Kitty theme.
black and white with a dash of yellow and burnt orange
DeSalvo does some nice work. i've been looking at Strong and Argonaut. but can't do anything till i sell off my Wojcik.
southern oregon produces some mighty finnneeee bikes
Gorgeous. I approve.
Nice.
nice. subtle and classic looking. what's the significance of the star?
That is a pretty sweet paint job.
Nice - very Nice!
This bike is gone now.
He doesn't care what mtb I ride, doesn't care what cross bike I ride, but really cares about what road bike I'm on.
By the way, still have a few 54.5 Supertouches in stock?
Specialized SWORKS SL3

I'm with you there. There are some bikes I'll always have. Like my C50, I ride it at lunch rides here, even though it's not one of our brands, but because it's something a bit special, it's ok. I couldn't get away with riding a Spesh, or Trek though. Not that I'd want to...
If I were to leave this gig, I would probably end up keeping one of the bikes I have, the System Six, I've wanted one of those forever, and it's pretty dialed in right now. I suspect I'll keep that one. I do still have a Giant XTC Hybrid alloy/carbon frame too, because I did love that bike, and it was the last one in the US, just holding onto it for a rainy day...

I thought about it all, weighed my options...
Basically it came down to me relizing that if I kept it, it would sit as a frame for who knows how long. I don't have the money to build up 2 road bikes, a cross bike, and my incoming IF. And frankly, I preferred the ride of the SL3.
In the end, though, the nail in the coffin was my boss telling me that when my SL3 is on the block, he's going to give me my next one.
Yes, I would have preferred to keep it, but I'd rather see it get ridden by someone. With the sale of it, I'll be able to get myself a new cross frame, which I'm happy about.
