Being an old guy, I do understand the idea behind paying some respect to those that helped you get where you are. And....maybe revisiting some of those old skills might be useful. And......not the least.....I'm sure the bikes would ride great. And building by request would make it work from a small businessman's point of view (which is how I look at a lot of things). Good luck! BTW.....Love Bozeman.
I doubt it...Mark Nobilette made me a frame with a Cinelli BB shell, so I could get the far superior Italian threading..but it was a Nobilette, not a 'Cinelli'..

It would still be a 'Kirk', even with a serotta BB shell..IMHO.
