    does look good, but:

    "As of Summer, 2008, the wait time for a frame is about 3.5 years. Contact us to find out more specifics."

    That's beautiful

    Looks slightly odd having all of that new (and in places carbon fibre) kit hanging off it though, strange retro/non-retro mix.

    Would love a test ride though

    That's one very sexy frame, shame about the 3.5 year wait though :shock:

    I'm sorry but does no one else find the "Celtic knot" thing a little chav-tastic? It'd be lovely if it weren't for that...

    Ok maybe, but come on, that chrome lugwork is drop dead gorgeous. I had something similar planned for my fixie until I worked out the cost :shock:

    I do have to agree those knots over egg the pudding. It keeps driving me toward Mike Perry's website and those lovely EPS's.

    I don't know - its made about 5000 miles from anywhere remotely Celtic. Exotic ancient foreign artwork if you are from Oregon. Perhaps how we might regard pacific northwest first nations artwork here?

    I think the motif suffers from "Mexican Pipe Band Syndrome". Perfectly nice artform, will eventually fall into obscurity and thereby recover credibility.
