Geoff got in touch with us wanting to get his tandem repainted. We were initially unsure if a tandem would fit in the sandblaster, but it turned out that the frame had S&S Couplers which meant the frame was able to be broken into three separate parts. The forks and frame were modified to take … More Geoff’s Co Motion Tandem

So I stuck a 700c fork in, and it is much more correct looking. … More Quang’s Curved TT Jim Bundy Funny Bike

I do know Carl built frames, but my particular one is made by Geoff Scott in around 1985. 54 … More Quang’s ~1985 Willo by Geoff Scott
A suspected 1986 build, if the guesstimation is accurate from the BB serial number is accurate. On the topic of serial numbers, the typical serial stamp on the steerer is absent, so that is of note – possibly a steerer replacement or non-original fork. Tubing is undetermined, but the bare frame weight comes in at … More Minh’s (ex)Kenevans(?)
Tue May 16, 2017 There were three Giant MCR models made. In 1997 there was the MCR 1 and the MCR 2. The MCR 1 was purple and had 7700 Dura Ace. The MCR 2, one model lower had the same frame but in blue and an Ultegra groupset. Apparently a 6400 one, rather than … More Quang’s 1998 Giant MCR
