Hey swoop;

Totally agree - it was more the blog than the website (altho' it's a cool site too) than convinced me to go custom with Steve at HampCo. Best decision I ever made in my bike-buying history.

And y'know, just as I was convincing myself, OK, gotta slow down on the Hampsten frames (Strada Bianca arrived in Dec., Tournesol coming in April, maybe a Cinghiale Pro for end of this year) Steve posts that tidbit about Landshark...

Argh! I've got a mortgage to pay!!! :crap:

Don't worry about the mortgage, the government will save you! Besides, the wait for a custom frame with some builders is longer than the fixed portion of many adjustable mortgages. Keep priorities in line! :beer:

You traveling to California for those training camps? Darn it, I'm jealous. They sound like some pristine riding areas!

That was good . Thanks Swoop.

and a class act. I'm glad there are people like him that persist in the business. He's also able to use words like tumescence, and fecund whilst still sounding cool. And the wide green vittoria paves go a long way, too.

I'm going to need a 3rd mortgage on my home for sure. On the bright side, I'll save $$$ not eating.

...now I want a Hampsten designed, Slawta brazed "all day sucker" road bike AND a Hampsten designed, Indy Fabbed "factory lightweight/SSR" race bike.

Looks like it's back to robbing banks for me...
