You're probably thinking of the Peloton that was on FGG and won one of the best bikes of 05 categories. It's probalby one of the most beautiful bikes I've ever seen IMHO and the deep V's just really work on it.

Not sure about SF street knowledge. I've only been there once.

badassbiker has a peleton with those wheels. it's a thing of beauty.

If I ever get a kieren frame, it's going to be a peloton. And it's going to have deep V's. Either silver sparkle paint w/ silver polished V's, or green sparkle paint with gold anodized deep V's. I'll burn in hell later.

this the one eddie?

Sorry, but the money's all gone. This from sfmuseum.net:

"Brannan Street
Samuel Brannan
Leader of Mormon Immigration of 1846

Came to Yerba Buena from New York in July 1846 on the ship Brooklyn as the leader of a group of 240 Mormons. He arrived about three weeks after Sloat had occupied Monterey. Brannan brought to the city its first printing press and started the California Star, the first newspaper in San Francisco.

In 1847 he opened a store at Sutter’s Fort and was the first to publicize in San Francisco the discovery of gold. He became head of the 1851 vigilantes and was probably the town’s most influential citizens during the gold rush, being active in organizing banks, telegraph and express companies, and also in advancing the knowledge of agriculture in the Bay Region. He acquired and later lost a large fortune. One unusual venture was a large private loan to the Mexican Government in 1855."

Dogbait

yup
no radials for me though

damn...I'm pretty sure there is nothing that Dogbait doesn't know about history. Especially obscure city history.

wow. damn don that looks amazing. so much more detail apparent. good ****ing job man, and thanks a million. can't wait to ride it.

Fricking stunner man. You are a lucky lucky dude. I'm getting all shakey about mine. It was supposed to be done last week but Barrie sort of "takes his time" I guess and it looks like it's gonna be ready next week.

Don, one question for you though just out of interest. In the first shots on page 1 it looks like the bike is coated in white foamy gooey stuff. What is that? It's gone in the later ones.

PS: your seatstay bridges give me a halfie.

IOC that's flux, used in the brazing process.

When heated, fluxes dissolve surface oxides and protect the cleaned surfaces from re-oxidation, transfer heat from the heat source to the joint; and remove oxidation products, allowing filler metal to contact and wet the base materials.

Brazing fluxes—pastes or powders—fuse at temperatures below those needed to melt filler metals. Because fluxes must be in close contact with the joint surfaces, they are liquid or gaseous at brazing temperatures.

and yeah now it's off i'm seeing all this detail, especially on the bb and seat clusters (and yeah that bridge is sick!). this is one truly beautiful piece of work. i feel extremely lucky right now.

really nice work don. thanks man. i kinda wanna just clearcoat it, so the handiwork remains on view.

heard the same thing; it needs a key to grip to. however i know there are clear powdercoats, which presumably could be applied to bare metal? ah whatever, metallic silver will look good enough i reckon…

top. i'm excited, ok?

Here is mine. Thanks for the mention visitor.

Looks like E Richo and DW are two of the few builders confident enough in their work to show it even before the flux has been cleaned off..

now i think about it it was yours i was thinking of. i run the same tires (and love em). your bike is about to have a twin

DW - I will add here that your work is astounding in regards to lugs, etc. But that is expected. I would agree with 12XU in his statement regarding confidence - and it shows. Looking forward to the finished product. Nice work, and Eddie - you have an awesome frame coming your way.

i used this bike and this picture to design a bike tattoo i got.

i think sublime and subtle sounds about right
