But at least the $5k includes a paint design poured from Slawta’s brain.
Probably one of my biggest cycling regrets was not ordering a Landshark when he was still offering steel frames. There were a couple in town when I was in college. A grad student on the cycling team had one with a sedate but still classy paint job and a professor had one with one of his signature wild paint schemes.
oh totally - it’s a good value, presuming that he’s wrapping his own tubes. Russ’ insight the other week into the carbon fabrication process has added to the questions i have for a builder. I would want the loudest, most vibrant paint / design he could come up with.
I would be totally into a Landshark, it’s just sticker shock holding me back.
I could live with the Moots. If I ever rob a bank I would probably get a Moots.
2019 is the year of being happy with the bikes I have
Lol 
Booooooo
I mean yeah that’s the smart option but still boooo
HY this
Also, if I had any clue what an ideal bike would be, I wouldn’t have seven of them!
Not my ultimate bike. Gotta be ultimate for someone, not me. Lugged modern shreddy hardtail with fancy custom lugs to meet all the new standards. Can ya 3d print steel lugs?
Maybe I should bring this to the thousand dollar idea thread? Or the weed thread? But it’s about bikes.
Coward
Investment casting lugs from 3d printed forms is pretty feasible.
I wonder if anyone’s done a ti frame with vaccuum brazed ti lugs?
These Australians claim to be selling lugged titanium, but glued together with epoxy instead of metal.
That looks nice but would I trust epoxy ?
Basically every carbon frame out there is glued together in some way
I would absolutely trust a glued lugged frame if it’s done right
This guy is doing custom carbon with 3D printed ti lugs
I thought I wouldn’t like it but I do. Its looks so fast.
Beautiful, powerful looking bikes… that cost at least 11,000 dollars. I’ll enjoy seeing them around, but will politely decline to purchase one
I’m into that carbon and ti build.
I’ve got a jig and a shapeways account what’s holding me back?
FEA?
I also don’t know how to deal with carbon.
