Peyto bikes

hope brakes, just about anywhere in Canada.

Fly-sports Propeller cranks, they make them in batches, and very very rarely. They are out there but it seems every set is a bit different from the last.

there weren't a ****load of tazer hardtails made as far as i know.

the mazocchi RAC, i'm hardly certain there's a production run. If anyone finds one, I've got dibbs.

Manitou millenium, a version of the supernova, but they only made 2000 of em.

Spitfire: Nice work. That came out looking pretty good. Mine is still in the works.

A little OT, but I took a tour of a shop today that does lots of hydroforming and bulge forming of Ti sheet. The foreman was saying that a couple of the guys have made bikes. They did some Ti oil pans for drag racers and Ti exhaust manifolds.

Imagine a Ti monoque frame....They had the technology. They also had weldors doing Ti joints that make a Merlin look like it was done by a 12 year old in China.

Click to expand...
No dude - That was the one I had. It's V3 #1, making it Draco frame #6 or somthing. I think theres 14 total right now. Maybe 17 now considering what's gone down in the last week.

what kind of frame is that mate as its a cracker

I'm not sure what that means (it's white?), but thanks I guess.

Buildyourown Thanks. I never did get to thats "detailed write up" I promised, did I. I'm working on the new version which I hope to produce of people are interested and also a trail bike will be ready soonish.

Middleburns aren't too terribly common in the states yet... (and no, just because monkeys pimp 'em doesn't mean they're not rare).

yeah but they are common as a really common thing over here.


Or even the Shimano Drum brake that had all those cooling fins on them. I remember reading that was insainly expensive to build. Stick probably has insite on those, i think Lopes ran them.

reported as being the spongiest brake in the world ever! although i wonder how much cable stretch did to help that.....

I took it into Kaibab bikes in Moab and they were bouncing on it going 'How much travel does this have?'

I'm looking at them like they are on crack going 'it's a hardtail'.

I just remebered- I was on one of the xc frames. It was the same frame minus the downtube. The one I rode for a week is the only one I have ever seen. They were like Porshce 'gaurds red'. I think there were 5 of those. it was desingned to have positive flex. kind of impressive considering the main tube is 3 inch aluminum.
