Frame Building Market Research

asm you could well be on to something, maybe a design contest and winner gets a prize (thinking cash possibly a frame... how much do you artsy types expect for your work)

a frame?! fuck it if that's up for grabs i'll get in on the act! A design contest would go down a treat I reckon.

In all seriousness though, I reckon the prize wouldn't have to be that big to get people contributing :)

well i smell a design competition... with a prize, frame if i can afford to give one away.... maybe cash for logo frame for a website?

Object I'll grant you that the "C" should have been a capital letter. It is considered gramatically correct to miss the "s" after the apotrophe though.

Look at this bit again: "Such sources permit possessive singulars like these: Socrates' later suggestion; James's house, or James' house, depending on which pronunciation is intended."

If you want it pronounced /krisiz/ then it's got to be Chris's.

This kind of thing pushes my buttons :S

BillB old style stem where the length is adjustable, fit a 4w LED in the end

Great minds must think alike, I'm already working on this, have got as far as finalising lug designs, final product still a couple of months off, but watch this space:)

As we are on the subject of custom frames. Any comments about Villiers? http://villiers-velo.co.uk/Villiers-Velo/main.htm

I think I spotted one the other day. Blue and very pretty.

Faced with two identical bikes, one labelled 'N+1' and the other labelled 'Chris Crash', I'd pick the one labelled Chris Crash every time. N+1 is just too impersonal. Chris Crash is much more human, expressive, funny, charming etc - those sort of things matter to me.

I ride a Roberts - not very funny but I've bought into the heritage and tradition. History and a human story matters.

cheers all, seems like Crash Cycle Co. is winning out... im thinking of http://www.crashbikes.com if i can get it for a web page...

Sorry dude, been taken..

Chris Crash Cycle Co is great and could be abbreviated to C4 which is nice and has that 'This bike is a pipe bomb' kind of vibe.
Did you get my whisper Chris?

flickwg established name and good quality come hand in hand

raleigh, claud butler....the two most established names in Britain.....good quality?

i did, some one said design contest, and i said cash prize, maybe a frame if your creative types are lucky, im liking C4, and have been doodleing some thing to stamp on forks and bb shells, but will hold a contest when im back in london town.

But Crash Cycles has such an enchantingly suicidal ring to it.
