okay, i am a self-admitted bike junkie. like chris, i am weak before the pusher. maybe i shouldn't have tried those gateway drugs...you know, those frames made in china or taiwan. well, they just don't cut it anymore; i need something more powerful. so the journey begins down the path of the custom made frame. there is something about having a bike made to fit you, your riding style and aesthetics that is too hard to resist. after all, this will be a lifer - a frame that you want to keep and perhaps be buried with.
so the journey begins. initially, i thought i would get the soulcraft plowboy, but then i found quiring cycles, and his scandium mountain frame kinda interested me. after all, if you are in for an ounce you are in for a pound. but then, tomek, the ultimate pusher, talked to me about a frame builder in squamish named mike truelove. mike has the shit; and its cheaper.
stay tuned as the journey progresses.
