    Bob's Yo...back from dreary land

    Hey guys, After some requests from Coggers and VRC guys, Bob gave his blessings to share the pics of his Yo resto. Bob's Yo came to me after a bit of a hard life, the luster of the original paint gone and a few additions had been made to the frame that did not benefit it. At some point...

    Yo Mods...a question for y'all

    as I'm waiting for a frame to cool a bit I thought I'd ask; What ever happened to the Retrobike "get to know the member" interviews? With two introduce yourself here threads and over 30 pages of people, I always enjoy reading more about some of the personalities that frequent the site...

    Ti forks...what is the true demand?

    Hey guys, There's been lots of chatter about Ti forks of late, much of it harkening back to the run of Project 2's that Sandvik did back in the early 90's. I've always been a bit pessimistic about the Ti forks that have hit the market...poor design with regard to longevity and...
