Lugged Moyer is my new pron
Anyone have one? Seen one? Ridden one? They are so hot, how's the quality? Not like I could ever afford one, but one can dream, can't he?

They really do make a hell of a frame.

Dig through that for a bit.
I don't really like their loopy seat stay bike though.

It's HIS not their. Whitney Moyer is a lone man making those frames and they are absolutely beautiful. Each one a masterpiece. The prices are not that bad for what it is. Someday...

I'd take one in a heartbeat if I could afford it. Love his work. He really is an artist.

Everytime Whitney would release a custom frame for a customer all the bike riders in austin would talk about it and drool. I have seen about 3 of his frames in person and they are just getting better each time he builds a new one. He is a great guy, super friendly and talented.

Please tell me those are custom drilled 16-hole Deep Vs to custom Paul hubs on Kennethalan's bike. (I will only be a little disappointed if it's just a lighting thing.)

They are pretty sweet, I freaking love the polished lugs. I have to say though, I'm not a big fan of the twisted stays.

last track bike on the gallery is mine. it looks a bit different now - many scuffs (sem's paint job wasn't very durable), campy pedals w/some double straps, black superturbo on a suntour superbe pro post, fully wrapped bars. i ride it downtown most days unless it's raining. my best-fitting and most loved bike by an order of magnitude. the craftsmanship is superb. i like talking about how much i love my bike - feel free to pm me w/any specific questions, and if i can't answer them, i'll point you in whit's direction.
my only qualm is that i have to talk about the bike 2-3 times a day w/the random people who come up to compliment it; can get irritating when i'm trying to stacked up at work and in a rush. oh yeah, and sometimes people get a little too touchy-feelie w/it.....

The blue Moyer in the gallery belongs to me (xB). Just got back from a ride, as a matter of fact. I love it. It's likely the best bike I'll ever own. Ditto what everybody said about Whit being a consummate craftsman and a real fell sweller. He makes great bikes, and I always look forward to seeing what he's got up his sleeve.

I guess it's a good thing he didn't build it for you. If you ever saw it in person you might reconsider your position on twisty ****.

Occasionally I think there's a bit too much eye candy on his bikes, but for the most part they're effing gorgeous. And, his clients ride the hell out of their bikes.
