Well, I have to give a big thumbs up
to Velo-Cheapo entree #8 for his/her sense of humor. Even after $1500, the wheels are borrowed! You're planning to give 'em back?
I'm a bit puzzled by the lack of anonymity... I mean, at least a couple of the bikes seem to have the builder's name written all over them... but I guess that's all the fun of it, right?
