Don walker question. . .

Just go ahead and delete/lock this thread because it is probably going to get nasty.

no one is picking on DW, i just don't understand why a gorgeous bike would be displayed in a restaurant(sp?). . . .

if by "get nasty" you mean dance naked, well, there's potential for that at any time, any thread.

It looks like an IRO. Or a Pake.

likely. Still, i've never known an iro or pake to fall apart. And the welding still doesn't save it from looking like everything else.

I like those knurled Shimano headsets. Too bad they stopped making the wrenches...

Except for the fastback stays, the fork, the track ends, the seatpost clamp, the fact that it's fillet brazed rather than TIG'ed, and the actual, like, geometry. The only thing that bike has in common with an IRO or a pake is the fact that it's a black track bike. Jimeny!
