Jeremy, you must be a younger guy because you left out coaster brakes, the

Is there such a bike outside of custom made varieties? I don't think the
appaloosa is a production bike as of yet or else I would be extending my

Awesome read, put a smile on my face in an otherwise dreadful day at work.
We have been car free for 6 years, living in NYC makes it easier, and I

I have never had a bike powder coated but have to plug Bruce at the Color

there but it would have to eat into existing hunqapillar sales instead of

Its 35 degrees out with freezing rain. I would rather stay warm and

With a powder coat, no head badge and using existing lug designs I bet you
could sell a Taiwan frame at around the 600-700 dollar price range. With a

Arent you basically asking to re-invent the wheel as my 9th grade math

When someone is selling a like new or brand new bike like this I
personally always want to have at least some back story. The frame has a
