We do their bike's at C.S. Parliament. I have built up several so far this year, including one the other night for our old missing comrade Bikeophile. Nice frame...butted steel...1 inch threadless..chromed head lugs...nice eccentric B.B...Full fender +1 bottle braze-ons...butted steel box crown fork...understated graphics with a nice wet paint and the clear is a Sikkens purple hue I think. The geometry is towards the sport/road end of things so it isn't a racing type of ride but super comfy. No short reach sidepulls unfortunately, but with full fenders in mind, I guess they had no choice. The build kit is really nice as well...Anodized Formulas on Alex deep rims...Vittoria Rubino's...144 bcd IRO style cranks w/ a nice solid 1/8 ring. I am not usually so shameless a shill but I really like their bikes. A Canadian company producing a mass produced bike that doesn't look like one.
This is Rob's new bike. Obviously not the stock build, but who of us does ride a stock build?
