Fuck Unbound forever.
when my late homie Joel Dyke founded that shit with Cummins back in 2006, he wanted it to eventually be the exact fucking opposite of what it is today. Coulda had something special.

Also for as long as they dragged their feet on the name change, they don’t deserve for it to be called “2006 Unbound”.

Steelman made some really cool bikes.
Way cooler than antique rugs.

Oddly on topic with my rageposting above, Joel used to restore antique rugs before he worked in every bike shop in town.
If you see a small piece of Turkish rug around a top tube or a seat post, there’s like a 99% chance they got it from Joel.
ALSO I’m gonna go see the 2008 Dirty Redacted winner tomorrow when I go to the dispo to buy an endless amount of edibles. I’ll ask him which bike HE won on.
Still fuck Unbound tho.

If you need bottles for a tarck century, you might not be cut out for that life 
Can you please, and if it’s not too much ask him for a pic of the bike? I need to update my spreadsheet.

lol that’s funny because the guy who won in 2007 was the guy whose bike shop I frequented when I was in Iowa City. He eventually closed the shop because I think he grew to hate dealing with customers like me

he wasnt working today so i went google sleuthing and found this:
Short-lived custom frame company called Podium Bikes out of Great Bend, Kansas (p sure it was one of his family members who made the frames). Next time I see him I’ll see if I can find better pictures.
