This one's for Brent. MEGAtaost

Really had no idea that Geekhouse had this kind of hand-built set up. Really love everything I see here.

While on the topic of nice whips,

This is a Tonic Supernaut There's a lot of attention to detail that makes this build incredibly clean. The Tonic icon on the downtube isn't a sticker. It's pieces of unpainted stainless adhered to the frame. Fixed gear's have a clean aesthetic anyway but when the headset is integrated inside the headtube it gets even better. The H+Sons built in to the CHUB's look so good. Thomson seatpost never hurt a build either. Probably not the lightest set-up but a great one none the less...

And here's how Hfwido's handling the big city...

i don't get it...why is that one for me? bear in mind, i only watched the first one.

was i supposed to be impressed that a guy with a mustache knows basic metal fab skills and likes touchy feely music?

the point is- he is taking great pains to build a bike that is impractical for it's intended use. makes me feel like he built a screwdriver out of diamond only to drive nails in the wall with it.

i admire some builders as they have true artistry in what they do. honestly i didn't see stachio doing anything that your average 13 taiwanese girl couldn't do...except endure that pussified music.

i posted a video that showcases what can be done on a bike (tricks you call them) when you use a hammer to drive the nails.

I thought you'd like that one...
Fo really, let's joust it out!
The trails video on your blog is pretty incredible. Hans Reyish even...

As for geekhouse, there's a demand for that type of bike. If you don't like em, don't buy one...
