25 posts and nobody mentions Santana?

They've been at the forefront of American - and world - tandeming since 1976.

Easy Racers and the late Garner Martin - since 1979, and that's C&V.

Great call. I concur.

Art Stump
and Keith Lippy

Tim Neenan of Lighthouse Cycles is still building in Santa Ynez, CA and has been building bikes since the 70's.
Also, Chris Pauley, Santa Barbara built for Tierra Cycles with Greg Diamond in the 80's

And if you want a sense for the environment of California bicycle creation look up the Cycle Smiths on Mark Bulgier's fantastic site: http://bulgier.net/pics/bike/Catalogs/cyclesmiths/
and look up the many rememberances of the early Masi years on CR. IMO the Carlesbad Masi was a formative hotbed for the California talent in the '70s.

Actually Ross Shaefer was mentioned, and before Salsa he was Santana.
Glad to see those other Great names from Santa Barbara area and elsewhere added...keep it going...

I'll add another: John Slawta of Land Shark. (Moved from Los Angeles to current location of Medford, OR in 1991.)

Boone McReynolds of Diablo Bikes in Concord - There were a few of these.

Anybody here have a picture of a landshark made in Los Angeles?

Question on Taylor Bike
 

Do you know the type of steel used in the Taylor with the carbon seat stays?

I believe the bike under Andy Hampsten in the famous photo of his winning ride in a snow storm, 1988 Giro d'Italia was a Landshark.

Masi CA?

:twitchy: 10 year old zombie thread, no worries. ;)

I lack a flair for the obvious :-/

All good, never hurts to try.

Lets see some of your C+V or just steel, whatever. :)

I zipped through the thread, and unfortunate the number who were around in 2011 and are not now.

Amen to that.:(
