Don walker question. . .
 

why are you gonna display the bike listed on the FGG in an eating establishment?? seems like a waste of a great looking, functional machine. . . .

URLS on the bike = trashy adverts

agree 100%

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

im confused... what is DW being picked on for now?

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

why?

maybe it's a bike themed restaurant.

bah humbug

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.

\
no.

yes. imo.

the welding on the DW is vastly superioir to that of an iro or a pake. . . .

Racism!

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.

point taken. . .

its called "making a living" i believe

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

Dude, why don't you try emailing him instead of posting a new message to this bike forum?

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!

You don't need it. Just use one of these.

As for the point of this thread....if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all.

Speaking of Don Walker...

Fantastic buildup and frame! I'm very impressed.

Will somebody tell me what's up with that chainring? It looks like an FSA, but I can't really tell...
