To tell the truth, I find myself here because current bicycle culture seems an alien thing to me filled with ugly bikes, watts, zwift, and strava. I find none of this inspirational.

Do I have a home?


Absolutely, one thing that seems to sometimes not get enough cred is some KOF builders, Mooney being one of the greats and never a bad call.

Welcome aboard, glad you found us, you're in the right place.

We need pics of all, you can upload them to your album/homepage.

And you can post them here after 5 posts X 2 days for 10.


I'm with you 100%,

New Strawberry with Campy 11 speed.

Full custom, lugged, all steel.

And my daily driver, 40 plus year old Merz custom with Campy 9 speed, rides like a dream, as if it was made for me but wasn't
