Love the look of these frames, does anybody own one?
I was lucky enough to be given one to ride for a whole season back in the day when I lived in California in the mid-late 90's.
It was one of the original Bob Seals Retrotec's... not the current Inglis bikes, although I'm led to believe that Inglis built some of the original Retrotec's too(?).
That Retrotec was without question one of the finest bikes I've ever ridden. I SO did not want to hand it back!
It handled superbly, was light as a feather and was very, very well made. The one I did the season on was one of the swoopy cruiser style frames and was an SS. At 16.2lbs using a Ritchey Logic rigid fork it was an absolute blast and flew along teh trails.
Would so dearly love to have that bike with me now...
Don't own one yet 🙂 They have been on my 'hit' list for a while now and I may be getting something nice made by someone next year if I don't give into my Jones yearnings.
My friend in Germany has one, I know she loves it. You may have seen her on it at SSWC in Ireland?
mmm can't remember seeing her does she have any photos on-line?
There's a few here http://www.flickr.com/groups/465044@N22/
