John is a great bike builder. He took that bike on one of our rides before he moved to SF, and it was beautiful to the point of distraction, though he admitted that the drum brake completely sucked. He knows his stuff too. He was probably one of the few people that saw that frame and knew it had Cinelli lugs and Columbus tubing despite being a completely ubscure South American frame. John showed me how to build my first wheel and a great deal about bike building before he took off. Great dude, and great bike builder.

Yep, it goes to a rear drum brake. Good memory Dug...you know it from the other forum ;-) It's yellicinellijohn's bike, and a fantastic bike at that.

I built this 650b city/randonneur bike at Doug Fattic's frame building course in Niles Michigan. Duane of Chester Cycles painted it a nice 1960 Triumph shade of silver. I'm in the process of making custom racks for the front and rear. I just finished making a porteur rack for Owen Lloyd's 20" haulin stuff bike. I'd be happy to make you a custom rack too. Custom bicycle.. maybe in the future.

Back in '87 saw it and had to get it. With a couple of bikes to choose from I always seem to come back to the Lotus. Only mod is the handlebars the rest is original.

O yessir... This will be mine someday... When $$$ and skill permit.

Trek District Carbon - MmmMatte Black Finish

what's up with the cheap V-brake levers mismatched with road calipers? That bike needs some Sram levers or something.

Spencer and Tegan have the two hottest bikes I know. Both make me instinctively moan. I'll leave it to them to post.
self porn is a no-no
