Thanks for the love! As much as I love this bike, I do wish PR would feature a new whip tho... :)

True, but i cant imagine anything that would compare. If we ever get a new feature it would just be meh!

Yea, I’d have to agree— as much as I love this bike, I’m ready to see something different on PedalRoom!

Yo, so I followed Chris Bishop on Flickr as he built this frame and fanboi'ed harrrd checking up all the time watching it get crafted. Then, one day last fall, I was randomly in Portland and stumbled into Western Bike Works cause a friend said they was having a thing AND IT WAS THERE!! I was lowkey freaking out (and stole a touch, srry not srry :P). This bike is f'ing legendary! Good job on the cop!

That event is exactly when I learned I needed to do whatever it took to get on this bike. I too might have fondled a flute or two that night...
