Hello Everyone,
I have registered earlier, but then our house got hit by lightning and most of the electronics and wirering got fried! It has been lots of work and internet is kinda running again.
I life in central switzerland, I restore and customize vintage bicycles and do some repairing/customizing on customers bikes.
My current rides (well, the ones I like the most):
1943 swiss military bicycle: shaved, vintage carbide lamp and huge killer spikes everywhere
1988 Rocky Mountain Tantalus: Made back then by Derek Bailey, rigigd, upgraded parts, this one is taking off road abuse "with a grinn"!
1992 Titanium Roadbike "Agniq": custome made by a buddy of mine, stock campagnolo record, some origina SYNCROS parts, about 180 000 kilometers on the clock, she is still running smoothly!
1996 Kona "Nukunukuapuaa" (or something): great daily one speed cruiser
2004: Kalluk "Satkut": 160mm front and rear fullsuspension, frame made by me, this beast is faaaast!
2005: Rocky Mountain Vertex: Hardtail, xt, solid, reliabel
2009: PG Cruiser Boardtracker: Great Guys from Germany, pimped with some vintage parts
This one will be my next project. I will call her "Nuvuya Tuvaaq" (Cloud Hunter):
Frame: steel, custom made, leaf springs rear end, industrial bearings
Fork: steel, custom, leaf spring, industrial bearings
engine: super charged 50ccm, RockSolidEngines
Wheels: 2.75x16inch motorcycle vintage tires and rims, heavy duty rear hubs front and rear, this will give us instant change of 2 different sprocket sizes and fast repair.
Tank: steel, custom
Tubing and parts are ordered. Can't wait to bring her alive!
It is snowing now: wicked, the first testride will be on spike tires!
Cheers from Switzerland, Tom
PS: Great Forum!
