Box Dog Bikes in San Francisco stocks a lot of VO parts. They also do very nice builds on our frames, like the Rando and Mixte above. Drop by if you're in the Bay Area.
Russ and Laura are on an open ended and long term bike tour. They dropped by VO world headquarters today. You may know Russ as the author of the excellent Epicurean Cyclist blog. Their trip is documented on The Path Less Pedaled blog, which is also well worth reading. Laura creates handcrafted jewelry & bike accessories. Check out her work at the Tangerine Treehouse.
Fyxomatosis is a strange and wonderful shop in Australia. They make chain rings and build cool bikes with some VO components. They also have some classic Italian parts.
Does anyone know what kind of fender struts are on that BoxDog randonneur? They look nice and flush, I'm having real toe overlap problems these could help.
ReplyDeleteThe fender struts are made by Gilles Berthoud
ReplyDelete^ don't know what those are, but try using an R-clip instead of a draw-bolt...
