Not local, but Tom Kellog did mine, and matched the paintwork as well...

I think Firefly is an offshoot of Independent Fabrication. Their stuff is ridiculously well thought out.

Nice Zanconato...

Yeah, they are a bit fragile. A set is on FleaBay.

Damn Deltas are going for over 300 bucks......

BTW Gary Turner who started GT bicycles is a royal douche.
I strongly suggest you don't buy a boat from that guy.

Interesting. He races a Nitro Nostalgia funny car.

(Never talked to him in the pits, but he's got a decent operation)

he was a drag racer before he started making bikes in his garage.
I wouldn't buy a drag race engine from him either, unless I paid the CORE price.

But what's a cracked block amongst friends?
I'm sure he didn't know about it, and flushing the engine with brand new oil before I got there wasn't done to hide the fact that the internals were covered with rust from sitting all winter with milkshake for oil.
Hey it ran fine the last time he took it out .......

My problem with the newer looking stuff is that they look NEW. Call me an old fart but I still like the way the older Campy stuff looks... as well as putting something modern on my 1967 era bike just would not look right to me.
