Spooky Skeletor!!!
I ordered this bad boy a couple months ago and it finally came in today. So freaking excited. Hopefully I'll have it put together and ready to ride by tomorrow or the day after. Here are some pics of my new baby.

Nice! I was very close to getting one of those instead of my Marinoni Delta.
I'm currently lusting over a Supertouch.

I'm dying for one of his mountain bikes. He's trying to sell me on a 650B. Not sure though. Worried about availabilty and price of wheel components.

Hummmmm....
Are they trying to horn in on my national company name recognition? Better see the "paton" office on this one.
I think I was the first Spookeay. Well they spell it common spelling so I guess I have no recourse.
Oh well,,,,,, Nice Bike!

Are lumpy welds better? I have three aluminum bikes and none are nearly as lumpy.

I've never seen an aluminum frame that didn't have lumpy welds.

What is the "awesomeness" of the skeletor and tsunami? I suck at these kind of things. Also, where can you order one?
