From FGG - read the story on this one...



"Before there was "drillium" and "hot rodding" there was Michigan builder George Omelenchuk (1920-1994)... fabricated complete frames and components for his racing cycles, and built 50 or so cycles over his lifetime. When I say _complete_ I mean COMPLETE! He fabricated frame tubing, spokes and rims in his own shop using a proprietary extrusion process, cast and forged stems, fork crowns, dropouts, pedals, hubs, bearing races and journals..."

Impressive that he made it all entirely himself, but that stem looks like a flaccid penis.

Someone on Commercial St has the top right tandem. Might try to procure it.

Yeah, that's my building. He got in a shit for locking it up downstairs here a few weeks ago. Started a pro-biker vs lazy-shit schism within the building. Someone complained it was too long as it's a tandem for that particular spot in the building (which is bullshit, it's shorter than a large hybrid which was next to it). Stacks of paper and bottles of ink wasted on passive aggressive notes.

dude, finish the doob and then move these to names and faces, along with a mugshot of your best whitey-pulling face - electing your own bike to porn status is a no no. :)
