It's nice to be back after a long break. I need pics. My supply is running low so if you have anything to contribute please send them on. I'm starting a contest...if your the 1,000,000th visitor you'll win an unbrazed plate fork crown. How about that????? so tell your friends and spread the word!!!!!

Frejus atmo!

Tom and Nick are they eyes and ears of this blog. Thanks guys!

Cecil Walker crown

Golda crown.

I hope this beautiful old condor makes up for not posting much in the last month. This bike has the Davis crown that aspires to be a twin plate. Works for me.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Curt Goodrich is the MAN

This is an updat from April 13th. TP sent this great shot of his Masi Pista. That is a special bike. Thanks TP.

Rensch tandem with plate crown. Interesting brakes I say.

Wade at www.vulturecycles.com sent this pic of a Mclung mtb. I love the "newsboy" style.

Masi Pista. As my friend says, "a pista Masi is a good Masi". This was submitted/snipped by atmo.

Tournesol by Hampsten Cycles. This is the Rivendell crown that is seen on bikes here and here by Richard Sachs and Curt Goodrich down the site a little bit. These guys at Hampsten really know what they're doing and if I could generate any business from this tiny blog for them I'd be thrilled. My own Giro 88 found here is a joy to ride. My buddy Happy Harrell is doing a tour with the Hampsten guys to eroica in the fall. It's killing me knowing I am not going.

not a true plate crown, but it is good enough for me. this repaint looks too much like a sachs though.

luigi ganna crown.

This is a better pic of the baylis crown from Jan 3rd. Roman doesn't know it, but he contributed it. I'm always amazed at the paint BB puts together.

This Geminiani pick is also from Fred, Thanks Fred.

This Elgin Balloner from Fred is way cool. Three plates are way better than two.

Custom twin plate crown from Vulture Cycles.Check out their work here. This is a unique design that takes more work than it looks.

Crome Herse spotted at the Cirque.

Richey crown and modified Sachs Newvex lugs adorn this Bob Brown MTB. I really like this look.

The third of many pics to come from the 2006 Cirque.

Brian Baylis "Aerotour". This bike has to be seen to be believed. It is a prototype that Brian is using to experiment with in a randonee style of bike. Parts of it are beautiful, and gaudy, unique, and stunning. It is over the top stylistically, but I really like it.

We like track bikes at the PFC headquarters. This Avanti is stunning. Thanks Mark for the pic.

TS in MI spotted this lovely condor Path Racer on Ebay. What a nice clean bike.

Pic # 1 from the Cirque. This beautiful old ratty frame was just propped against the red wall. PERFECT!

Mark Stonich sent this crown. He didn't trust a regular crown for his recumbent tandem, so he added a plate to strengthen things up. Check out his website here.

TT cut this Heron crown down for Roland Della Santa. This is cool stuff! It seems like all the kids are doing it now.
