A friend told me that Matthew G was working at a Berkeley shop maybe as recently as two years ago. I think it was Velo Sport, but don't quote me on it. Also, I notice there's a Kogswell Yahoo group still going: http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/KOG/ On Monday, September 24, 2012 1:15:02 PM

Didn't the early lugged models also come in an extremely limited number of sizes, like 54cm and 58cm only? Only a good deal if they fit you On Monday, September 24, 2012 11:39:51 AM UTC-7, Cyclofiend Jim wrote: There was a brief arc of them into the Gallery and I have one ride- buddy

I am the very happy owner of a model P60. Also a remorseful seller of a D58 and a F58. Now that I have learned my lesson, the P won't be leaving my stable. The first two Kogswells were the D and F, essentailly a deraileur and fixed version of the same bike in a lovely kustard and black paint.

Maybe 6 or 7 years ago, Matthew from Kogswell gave me one of these in the same size for free. I think the MSRP was $750 or $800 then, sort of a budget Rambouillet. It's not my size, but I hung it on the wall of my shop for a couple years. Finally I took it to a swap meet in Madison with every

I've never ridden one. I doubt that very many actually exist. At the time, Kogswell had numerous models listed, none of which seemed to actually be obtainable. I would guess that he had maybe 50 or 100 of each model, distributed across various sizes, before he moved on to the next model (i.e.

That was a Model P (Kogswell historians, please keep me honest). I rode a Kogswell P/R (Porteur/Randonneur designed by Jan Heine) for about a year or so. Mine was part of the Gen 2 production run, which used slightly thinner tubing than the Gen 1 P/R. Mine had a very cushy and compliant

So what am I missing? Isn't 275 and freight paid a steal on this frame or is it to common?? Looks like a much more expensive frame than what it's being sold for. Kelly On Tuesday, September 18, 2012 8:32:57 AM UTC-5, hobie wrote: Cheap Kogswell frame on the bay.
