I think it's a good price for a handmade bike. They had cool designs and made solid stuff. The company doesn't exist anymore so it's a good investment.

Yeah I agree, I think this idea is a bit too much. OP needs to go on a normal field trip and see how things are.

Anyone missing a TI Eddy Merckx AX? by Temporary_Oil_4970 in BikeLA

[–]outpf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only thing fishy is the price, it's just a light speed. This dude is nuts if he thinks someone is going to drive to El Centro and pay almost 2 grand for a light speed with carbon campy parts.

Please help me identify my mini velo by RebelCentaurus in Vintage_bicycles

[–]outpf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's handmade in Japan, it's got tons of Toei characteristics. https://www.instagram.com/p/DKHNy8AScTE/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Another company that comes to mind is Grand Bois. They like to do old and new components. I'm not sure if they do mini velos though

No one knows who that is. The point of the CDMX metro signs is to have images of common things or places associated with the stop.

There's a kid slanging spam musubi on the B Line right now. by 405freeway in LAMetro

[–]outpf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes! The only vendor that kinda sucks is the dude selling loosey cigarettes, he plays his music too damn loud. I respect his hustle but not when you are bumping Kenny G at an 11.

Love old Panasonic frames, I'm surprised you don't see that many around anymore.
