I didn't expect to see this today....

So, I've had my Crumpton 3 years. In that time, I rarely come across anyone who even knows what it is (I did have someone pass me going the other way who said "Whoa! A Crumpton! once, but other than that - nada). Today, however, I got even better than that. Came up to a light, a guy was sitting there, and what do I see? He's riding a Crumpton! The first one I've ever seen, other than my own. Cool day! (I'm the munchkin)

Nice looking bikes !!!
I'd love a Crumpton myself

There is one more in D.C. Probably ridden in around Rock Creek.

Do the helmets come with the bikes. 😉

Ha! I noticed that after I posted it! When you think alike, I guess you REALLY think alike!

Thought those were some sweet red reflectors on the wheels at first glance!

Looks like an "ugly contest" and I'm not talking about the bikes. Who won? ;)

No smiles?

Nothing good to bash on Facebook last night?

Nice bikes, and cool pic in my book. How do you like the bike?

Nice pic and nice bikes.

Count me as one of those who has never seen a Crumpton.

I love it. Rides really nice. Nick was great to work with. Mine isn't custom for me. It was a show bike that happened to fit, but he spent a lot of time with me making sure it was right.

AND... as luck would have it, I was riding today and saw him go in the other direction on the road! Twice in two days. That's just weird. We don't live that close to each other, either.

Dude! Bruce Spence rides Crumpton!

It's pretty cool when you're into something obscure and you just happen to cross paths with someone into the same.

I feel you, bru. Crumpt-on!
