Fast boy

i was in nyc last week and went up to see ezra, he took me round his workshop and we talked bikes for about 3 hours, then a friend of his came to pick up a ss bike he had just finished..... to cut a long story short i took the bike out for a shortish spin, white industries drive train and hubs....... amazing i did not realise the difference, being use to shimano....... does anyone here ride white ? unfortunately i am going to have to sell all my bike to get a fast boy

Can you tell him to send my bloody repaired fender back, he's had it for about a year now!
on another note, good to hear he's in good health - he had a pretty rough year last year.

BDW has WI freewheel. Great but noisy fuckers. :)

hippy
it was noisy' but had a quality sound, like a sig-sauer being cocked as opposed to an ak47 .

clefty
email him, he's pretty responsive. it was strange to see him with hair, he's on his way up and out of his personal nightmare...... cool guy.

Have the ENO crank. I can confirm that it's the bomb (technical term for it being very good)!!

Yes, I'm sure.

Quality bits don't equate to raw speed, that comes from your legs.

Glad to hear Ezra's on the mend, I visited him at that great place he has in Harlem a coupla years ago... Lovely fella... :]

makes sweet bikes

yeh, think he's ignoring me - email him about once a month at the moment.

percy-vere !

use to live in nyc, way back in the early eighties. harlem really has changed ! really nice vibe up there. his location is really cool.

percy-vere !

Was on the point of writing it off to be honest, however..

Just received a very apologetic mail, saying he'll do it today!

I live in hope!

I use a white industries freewheel on the polo bike. Absolutely stunning piece of kit.

My flatmate's WI freewheel wore out in 18 months, the teeth were well fucked... He replaced the teeth and seals, probably cost about as much as getting a new one... :S
They are noisy, but it's a lovely loud click...

Anyone tried the double freewheel? Considering 17t/19t for a future project.

it's meant for a double chainring set-up front, other wise it will through your chainline out 10mm

Thanks. [/retard]

let us know how it goes !

Really impressive. http://www.fastboycycles.com/index.html

They're all just gorgeous.

Strange. I've just checked on him this morning via Flickr. I didn't have idea so many people is interested in his bikes and follows his recovery.

They are. I especially love the black, disc braked 'cross bike with moustache bars. That's my kinda bike.

still haven't got my fender back btw :-)

claire how long did you have to wait for the fenders when you ordered them initially ?
