white has always been my favorite glamour hub.
They are super really nice. I should probably go that route…the downside is you can’t do freewheel on both sides but I don’t think I have ever done such a thing 
This TAF Roy Lichtenstein Land Shark has been hanging out on craigslist for fucking forever and seems to have a respectably old man length head tube. Too bad (or maybe it’s good?) I can’t afford it.

Back? Starting to be? I am curious, as well.
been burnt too many times after they moved production to the US. would love to support them- super nice bros, MUSA and their hold music is the theme from trailer park boys. but the rims though.

Pretty much everything after they moved to the usa after being in Australia is hot trash.
I think they are sourcing a cheaper alloy.
Damn, Pinhead just came out with locking TA axles…

Is the Rene Herse 11-speed crank worth the money–it’s like 40 avocado toasts.
Or is the VO one just as good for 17 AT’s?
If you really want the three-arm look, the Heinecrank is the very best one to use (the VO crank is nice, but 6 arms just look a bit cluttered; In that boat I’d revert back to your original plan of an ox901d or even a suitable retro-looking 5-arm square taper crankset.)
one centibong= 1 atoast?

find the weirdo shimano three arm and get custom rings made for it. only twice the cost of the jan crank.

A bong is $1000 DOLLARS? Holy shit all these years and I assumed it was $100. People sell $1000 bongs?

Literally the whole reason it’s a meme is that there exists $1000 bongs. Or maybe somebody wanted to trade a bong for a $1000 bike I forget.
