They're custom made - that's about all I see. Let's hope the guy is better at building bikes than websites.

Not saying they aren't nice bikes. I'm perfectly content with my McGiant though.

I missed the connection when I first read this thread, but I'm pretty sure Mike (according to his history on the antbike website) painted my '92 Yoeddy (which I still love to ride).

...oh, yeah - 1st post. Been lurking for a while.

great bikes

All bikes are good when you can ride them and they make you feel good. Doesn't matter what shifters, casettes, tires, carbon fiber, fruit & fibre, pedals, side pull, center pull, double chain ring, triple chain ring, baseball cards clipped to the forks with clothespins, sissy bar, banana seat, cheater slicks, extended forks, stunt pegs, pink streamers, cute basket. If you like riding it, then its a great bike!
