Tell your dad that he's very welcome Hobo.
In fact, if he does consider buying a Flying Gate, he might wish to buy a bike, and a separate frame.
Flying Gates are not just bikes, they're practically heirlooms.
There are only two modern bikes that I worship the design of, and they are the Flying Gate, and the
Paris Galibier (now from Condor). There is also Hetchins, but I'd combine the Magnum Opus with a
Bates Diadrant fork (made by Ron Cooper for Bates).
Three totally unique bikes. Two from framebuildersbike companies, and one, a mash-up of separate bike and fork.
