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!

It's a very nice bike but.. Can we change this featured beauty that has been up for G.. knows how long and go back to featuring bikes on a regular basis like old times ?

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...

After having this bike as No. 1 featured bike, I guess every pedalroom user did put every bike of your collection as a favorite.
I did, though :]

Damn, this is the craziest paint job I've ever seen. I thought my bike was colorful, this thing blows it out of the water.

I remember seeing this in philly in 2015 and being super blown away. Still cant believe the original owner sold it. Glad someone rad ended up with it.

How did you source a Wound Up seatpost?? Been on the look out for quite some time myself. Stunning, of course. I've met Chris in person - lovely guy, peerless craftsman.

So effing good.

I'm normally a fillet brazed guy, but I must say that your choice of Chris' rare lugs look incredibly stunning. Oh, and that paint job is so gorgeous I'd be afraid an errant pebble on the street would chip it. I would probably just hang it on the wall if it was my bike.
