Even during a pandemic I can't give this away. Not saying steel bikes are bad, just pick the right builder if you go custom.
Dude, did you really?? What compelled you to pay so much from a cat with no real experience or history? I mean, it’s got some artsy little moves, but is basically old fashioned, which Iget aesthetically, but I don’t get paying a premium for, especially a sent the bonafides of an acclaimed builder. The post mount brake bosses are pretty, but +$5k? Wow. Sorry it didn’t work out, but as you know, you gotta play big to win big!
