[RBW] Re: Lugged! Proper fork bend! 650B! Fenders! Fattish Tires! Riv-ish!
Yes those are prototype tires not production models - Pacenti said they would be available in May. But get your order in soon! My understanding is the first run is near to sold out if not sold out already. Sorry you don't see the reason for this sort of construction - I built the bike for myself, nobody else. The rest of us may never get the chance to ride this beaut but we have the opportunity to see it. What did Keats say? Beauty is truth, truth beauty. If it works for a Grecian urn, it works for a beautiful bike.

I wish Mr Gordon was a little taller. The bikes he has built over the years for his own use are pretty incredible... I'd take a run at talking him out of one if they were 62's.

I remember desperately wanting a Bruce Gordon Chinook in 1983. I vividly remember the Bicycling magazine write up, and lamenting that the frameset was an unobtainable $499. That article might have been the birth of my love for Orange bikes. That thing was clean. I'd still love to own a BG someday.
