An Aussie custom frame makers work... And he's a nice guy. A lot of his clients are in the USA.
His waiting list for a complete frame is about 2 years. Llewellyn Bikes: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Here's the frame that the framebuilder at Hutch BMX used as a reference. (when they were made here in Baltimore, MD) The masking tape has tube names and measurements written on them.

![]() Not pron, but the Japanese have it down pat when it comes to bicycles. I was once in Kyoto, huffing up a 20-30% grade of an underpass tunnel, when a 70yo man, with his freakin' wife sitting on the back, came up from behind and passed me like I was standing still! Later, I was told he probably had an electric-assist wheel. -The only one that seems to be available here is the E-bike wheel at $600. -The Green Wheel was promised to be a few hundred but isn't for sale(yet). - There are others for sale with bluetooth/data tracking/unecessary crap that is also available. |

This is my old Cannondale SE1000. The ?first? production suspension frame mountain bike. Interestingly, it had rear suspension and a rigid front fork

Isn't that a Girvin Flex Stem (I think that's what they were called) on that C'dale? There sure were a lot of different approaches to suspension design in the early 90's.

Yup, Girvin Flex-stem was the front suspension. I think the front fork was called the Pepperoni or something like. Funky bike, but pretty cool at the time.

Not exactly a bike. It's the PiMoto -- and I think it's the best looking moped on the planet.
