it seems like the motherload of drew'ed bikes! the only redeeming features of this business is that it is owned and staffed by women, which is awesome, and they are keeping bikes on the road, but geeze, some of those hacked up frames made me sad!
Actually, I see almost no hacking of frames being done here. I see dropout hangers intact and cable guides still on the completed projects. I grant you that the color schemes are arresting and often garish, but I give them props for salvaging a bunch of bicycles that probably would have just been tossed.
