Game, set, match goes to. . .Mr. Walker. Don's biggest problem is probably trying to build a slow bike.

Can you tell us a little about the lefty (uh.. righty) fork design on this? Is the wheel stock or did it need to be modified to only afix to one side?

aka mattio
don, can you say more about the construction of that frame? what'd you use for those wacky solid triangles, and how did you make it stiff enough when there's so little frame to the frame?

i wish they had some sort of unlimited class for track bikes.
i know the sport's about the rider not the bike, and i like a double diamond frame as much as the next guy, but seeing something like that walker frame makes me smile.

any unlimited class would instantly devolve into recumbants with full fairings.

I'm partial to this one. Old pic. I'll get some new ones up soon - switching over to a CF fork, threadless headset and uber lightweight roadie bars.
I should probably head to the bike shop and get that done...

Why is everyone just posting pictures of their own bikes here? That's what the other thread is for.
