Andy still has bikes for sale, and it looks like he's still building: http://www.strawberrybicycle.com/
I am new to the forum and love looking at the fixies and road and vintage and... Yeah! Anyways my question what is the rare earth magnet in the seat binder bolt for? Does it just make it harder to remove it? I live in the sticks at the moment but am applying to medschools all over the place and will soon be living in a city and want to keep my bikes safe so always looking for new ideas. Thanks!
