yes, but is it stiffer with that double helix watson and crick (registered trademark) DNA downtube? enquiring minds want to know. and how did it do in the hydraulic press test? can you ride it?

Awww, come on, Colnago had a tubing set just like that back in the 90s.

And if you went to NAHBBS (National Association of Hand Built Bull Shhht) you saw not only some really great frames but also more weird stuff just like this. This is a hip frame. Enjoy it!

this is what happens when 2 Terraplanes mate. Stuff like this is why you can't marry your sibling.

Considering that the frame and bar ends/bars are twisted...why did they NOT tie and solder the wheels???

You folks will see lots of that when you visit for next year's NAHMBS.

Pretty common in Indy. It usually is the result of some one here saying, "Hey Y'all watch this!"

Yeah, accident. :rolleyes:

The real story is he said he'd pay me mucho frn's to steal the Spokey Dokes off of SteveP's Zank. When the job was done....uhhmm, hypothetically speaking of course....he refused to cough up. That was just a warning. Me and Vinnie are mixing up a special "shoe" recipe as I type. Brown paper bag better be ready when we get there....if you knowz what I mean....heh heh heh....
