    2013 Retrotec Triple ("Scorcher")

    So this is a fun project that JUST got completed. It started about 18 months ago. I'm a big fan/collector of handmade bikes from northern California builders... especially Cunningham, Potts, WTB. But I've always had lots of admiration for Ibis, Salsa and many others. About a 18-24 months...

    1996 WTB Steel Phoenix 26”/650B (Restomod)

    I’ve posted a couple of pictures of this newly-finished bike here, but it was pointed out in a 69’er thread in the main forum that I didn’t have a build thread on it. While the bike is now “done”, it’s build is an interesting story and a little different than most of my fleet. I bought this in...

    1998 WTB Ti Phoenix

    This is a largely-custom bike I had built for me in 1998. It’s a bike I tried to make very (probably too) versatile -- with S&S couplings and the multiple bar setups. The parts mix was pretty similar to my ’92 Cunningham and ’95 Newsboy -- in other words, all WTB/Potts/Cunningham and mostly...

    1993 Ibis Scorcher

    A recent acquisition. This one didn’t need much work. A very cool and unusual bike. Ibis made 100 of these. It was the brainchild of Wes Williams -- their primary welder at the time. Here are some pics. Full gallery here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/halaburt/sets/72157629688086198/...

    1983 Steve Potts Brazed MTB [finished]

    New project. Should be an exercise in restraint... I hope.

    Tapatalk / Forum Reader(s)

    This has been brought up before here, but at John's suggestion I wanted to bring it up again... For users of smartphones (and even tablets), reading forums like this one can be challenging and frustrating. But now... as the ads say: "There's an App for that!". Actually a bunch probably...

    Anyone know UK eBay'er "allthingsbikes_dot_com"?

    http://shop.ebay.com/allthingsbikes_dot_com/m.html Super-annoying habit of embedding keyword spam in white (i.e., invisible) text in his listings. I'm sure lots of Cunningham owners are looking for crusty late-90's red Race Face cranksets. Idiot. :evil:

    1994 Steve Potts Steelhead

    This just got done and I was toying with entering it into this months BOTM "USA Special" until a certain porcine member ruined that by entering his mind-blowingly cool Otto tribute bike! Anyway, this is a 1994 Steve Potts "Steelhead". It's from an era when Steve was shifting over from making...

    Buy my stuff! (WTB, Potts, Campagnolo, White Ind.)

    http://sporting-goods.shop.ebay.com/Spo ... 11.c0.m282 All this is available to ship to the UK and Europe... but please do be cautious on shipping as some of the larger items (particularly the frames) may be prohibitively expensive to ship outside the US. Let me know if you have any...

    WTB Steel Phoenix Frame (Size Swap)

    Want: WTB Steel Phoenix frame in 19.5" size -- Any year, configuration, color or condition Have: WTB Steel Phoenix frame in 18" size (several to choose from) Longshot I know... the 19.5's were only produced late in the run (>=1997) and Steve didn't make many of them. The 18's I have are...

    1995 Merlin Newsboy

    I’m the original and only owner of this. The build was documented on this webpage in about 2002: http://homepage.mac.com/halaburt/bicycles/PhotoAlbum7.html I just completed a round of minor upgrades and tweaks to it -- most focused even furthering the “Cunningham-ness” of the bike. The...
