A few years ago NAHBS was in Richmond where I live and on a lark and knowing nothing about Hand Built Bikes I went. In the middle of all these beautifully displayed bikes was 4 or 5 red ones covered in mud. So I asked the guy standing there " whats up with that? ". And as if he'd never heard

Re: [RBW] Re: Richard Sachs

If I recall, Richard Sachs doesn't just use "ATMO" as shorthand for "according to my opinion." He also uses it as a period, a comma, an interjection, a pause! Anyway, he certainly makes beautiful and functional bicycles—and he's inspired and helped many, many riders and builders over the

[RBW] Re: Richard Sachs

Seems like an amazing artist and interesting person. I've tried to order a frame from Sachs over the last 10-15 years and he never seems to be taking new orders. Maybe my timing is bad? It makes him seem less like someone who actually makes bikes than this mythical idealized version of someone

Re: [RBW] Re: Richard Sachs

AFAIK, Richard has stopped taking "new" orders for frames. He has a multi-year backlog that he's working through, and he will do repairs on existing RS frames, but other than that you won't be able to get a new frame. All in all, a very enviable place for him to be. --Eric N www.CampyOnly.com

I was lucky to get on Richard's list back in 2001 when his wait time was only about 9 months and the frame price was much lower than today. I met him at his shop in CT, where he spent a couple of hours showing me around his museum-like workshop, taking measurements, and talking about how he
