heh, he is right about that one peek-a-boo photo, though.
and this: "laminated a few pages from a Kingsley Amis novel and used them for spoke cards", is genius.

the curly chainstays make it look like it's been in a crash imo. I don't like how the rear wheel has less clearance than the front wheel. It should have totally straight front forks!

you should see one in flesh. you'll be amazed.
i think the only thing that can beat a pristine hetchins is a pristine 50's cinelli, or maybe a 40's bianchi with rod derailleur.

If we're getting in to top trumps, then hetchins wins cos it's got the longer name. :)

whats going on with that Colnago? is it in the Calnago stand? they should make bikes for the track and we should convert them for the road.
