Have you ever seen a LandShark?

Is the rear shock ok? Looks to be a little oily.

Landshark made high-end road bikes for Parkpre USA BITD. They were known for their fantastic attention for detail and stunning paint work.

Don't know what to think. Same design, frame components...
Cheers,

^^^ interesting ^^^ Did Ritchey out-source any other fabrication? As I said above Parkpre used Landshark to make some frames.

Lots of manufacturers used the softail design. KHS, Ritchey, Dekerf and a few others. I believe the Ritcheys were Tig welded wheras mine is Fillet Brazed. The shock on mine is ok I just over greased it a bit. I will need a stiffer spring and maybe some fresh bushings but they are still available.

Ooh- Luvly!
It's one of those bikes that makes you crash, just from looking down and admiring it, instead of at where you're going.

I hit a tree once because I looked down when my chain started skipping once. Anyway, made some changes to get her up and running for now, new chain and xt cassette, xt v-brake for the rear, different stem and bar, new tires. Rode it to work today and this bike is just plain fast. I can't wait to get some dirt under it.

Made some changes and dropped a few pounds. Much better.
