My dad bought a OM back in 1981. I have always wanted one but, for one reason or another I never got one. When the chrome frame/fork became available I decided to take the plunge. I tried to build them with a old school feel to them. Just reliving my youth I guess. Only this time I don't have to mow a thousand lawns to afford one!
I guess my 26" quadangle with the S2C mammoth rims, and hookworms wouldn't fit in with this crowd.
The 24" bikes seem to be the best compromise of weight -vs- capability. It is funny to watch my son's girlfriend leg out on the boys when she goes from 45 gear inches to 65 on that hub....
