    Paint matches

    I have no clue where you live, but any good automotive paint supplier in North America can "match" a color and give you a RAL#. Granted if you buy the paint from them it's going to be "the good stuff" ($$$$).

    Silverfish 1993 Fat Chance Ti

    Funny you should post this right now because John T, Chris Chance's former partner is sitting next me drinking a chilly Sapporo beers right now. John has been my best friend for the last 40+ years. he lives 300 miles south of me so it is a real pleasure!

    Anyone knows of Caterpillar bikes?

    From what I can see of the front fork, it looks like a cargo bike with a smaller front wheel. My guess is that it is someones custom innovation/ restoration. VERY COOL, I'd own it!

    Titanium welding specialists in the uk?

    Forgive me Tom, but it sure seems to me that you are posting on this "hobbyist/ collectors" site just to try to find work! "Low Budge" & low class! and it offends me and probably others!

    Interloc Racing Design (IRD) infos and gallery

    Rod is/was "one odd duck"! A very close friend of mine (a brother from another mother) worked for him for a number of years and I actually flew up to Cave Junction, Oregon to discuss buying IRD from him and his partner (I have forgotten the fellows name... But he was the "brains"). Rod came...

    The Ultimate Ranking Bible of Accessories Brands

    Back in the day, we called it..."flavor of the month club"! My guess as to how to disseminate hierarchy would be the recently sold value of NOS collectable parts.

    Logos on parts

    Early high-end components where chemically etched then laser etching became the #1 go to. Typically chain rings were milled logos where structural failure was rarely an issue. Stems, bars, and seatposts NEVER (at least from companies that knew their head from their ass)!
