one of my favourite looks for a bike.

I've owned a couple of Rock Lobsters which has had the most beautiful fillets. I wish I had pics of them, they were beautiful & solid bikes. You don't see fillets very often but I sense there is a comeback like lugs did.

god i wish i could have this bike...

yummy!

this thread is awesome!

ma bike

Don Walker's bikes are nothing short of amazing, but I just wish he'd find a new font for his frames.

fixed

did you build the frame?

for serious. there have to be several graphic designers (myself included) that would kill to do branding for don walker.

how about that matte red peloton that was for sale on ebay and sf cL? pretty hot. if only 2cm bigger... it'd have been mine... must be patient...

That's friggin amazing. Makes it look really easy to build a frame for some reason.

It's also a nice thing to chat with the guy that made your frame at a potluck now and again.

Damn it. I was beat. But my fillet is better!

What a piece of ****... They need to take it off their homepage. I hear the BBs shells just FALL OFF those things all the time.

can you elaborate please?

He's referring to this.

Nothing but rumors I tell you!

Yes:

I was joking

Mike:

I like your bike more every time I see it. Those chainstay brige reinforcements are the boss. I think they might really be downtube cable stops from Llewellyn as seen in the picture below:

Here's a shot of some gnarly Bilenky brazing work. They had to braze the BB on my otherwise lugged frame due to the geometry and curly ST. They wanted the BB to match the lugs proper so they added some embellishments...
