Who has a VVA MTB?
 

Looking for anyone else who may have A Victor Vincente of America (VVA) Topanga! or a VVA-26 Semi-Custom Dirt Road Bike. I have two Topanga!s and a VVA-26. Who else has these unicorns?

I've only ever heard of Victor Vincente, not familiar with his bikes I don't think.

We have plenty of MTB folks and threads here so there's plenty to see. ;)

I've got a couple myself.

Custom 1982 Jim Merz, one of maybe a dozen, unicorn would be an understatement. ;)

Early 80's Chrome Ritchey with original fillet brazed bars and built up from a bare frame.

You can also add some pics to your home page gallery and they may get moved here.

I recall that there was a Topanga at the late, lamented Velo Cult shop here in Portland. I hope Sky figures out how to show off his collection again some day.

Years ago (35-ish) I rode in one of VVA’s Reseda to the Sea races. I think I came in dead last.

Sky sold the Topanga! years ago and is now in Minnesota. It is SN 2 which is one of six demonstrators that Victor lent to bike shops to let people test it out.

they just did a Reseda to the Sea a couple of years ago to celebrate with Victor on his 80th bday!

Total eye candy! Great scoots!

Very cool!

Pic assist from and the other thread. ;)

Beautiful scoots!

The black one is SN038, currently the last documented Topanga!

These are interesting bikes, the small wheeled ones. Have any insights on their design or how they ride?
