many who know more than yerfood have sort of said this before...but anyway...
steel ain't real (profitable) lessin yer a zoot-to-the-zoot or an avocation-artisan.
say wha?
just talkin bout steel
see, lessin you can scoot that boot outta door for Goodrich money, it ain't worth your time. and if you're thuggin and luggin you gotta bring the thing to slang and bang to smack the sachs and jerk with the kirk, if you know what this bad white boy is sayin in his bizarre and pathetic patois with the savois
yeah, what he said
you can't run with the high-skill guns so your price is worth the nice that yerframe brings to a baby-boomer consumer who knows a frame with fame from a frame with shame? don't use steel.
how many like to get snug with the lug? too few to do that do and not get screwed in a limited market. so you do other things...things with bling, prices so outrageous they get contagious and you actually sell to those who can shell for fantastic anti-falerio-scholastic-plastic and fly fly ti...and if yerrplayin that game, why spend that time with steel, miterin and welden, shelden, when you can screw-blue-glue some tubes and sell it six or seven or eight or nine grand?
the s and s companies will still do steel for a while...but if the market share starts to get bare, if the steel sales go stale as the carbon chickin gets kickin...say sayonara, shara...and look to either super high end lugthugs or bargain tigger piggers (gunnar, kelly, etc..) for the steel market
doof says in 2010 serottas will still be nice, super crafted bikes
they just won't be steel
doof balled and shot-called the carbon lugged serotta two years out
don't play with him on this

If this is how Dr. Doof talks slang, I'd hate to see him dance! :no:

doof has his own style
doofadelic slang puts everything to which he has access -- from andre 3000 to the jerk to henry fielding to andre gide -- and puts it in his own slender bender blender
it ain't about fittin in
it ain't about tryin to align with the designated paradigm
its about mainlining the doof-world into your ear socket
deal with it
(and sometimes he dances in front of his classes
they ask him to stop
please
but you know they dig it)

Hey Bro that's a pretty bold statement the boss might get mad ain't you supposed to be selling them? Bro I had a 2002 5500 never liked it, none of my buds could understand why my n.o.s. steel bike rocks I like it a lot better and I could buld 4 for what that 5500 cost me.Cheers :beer:
Smiley, tell Ben to make yours so that you can fit 29'ers.
Then you can have a real comfy ride.
But Smiley, I have to ask, didn't you have a Trek (steel?) before that Ti bike?
Smiley

Trek Aluminum , but I had a french steel bike before that but I knew no better , it was a Motobecane

can someone tell me what kind of lugs these are on the head tube? and are the other lugs from the same "series"? they're beautiful without being overly ornate
thanks

those are the webbed lugs- thats what I am getting as well- I spoke to Dave- they dont start out like that- Dave told me they look like "throwing stars" before he starts- I asked him to send me a picture of them before he start the carving- if/when he remembers to I will post- One thing to note- these only come in one tube size diameter- 1" TT and 1 1/8 DT (I believe)- "Old School" bike 101- :cool: but these wouldnt be good for a 240 lb power masher type rider- but d*mn they look cool
