It's hard and unpleasant to imagine the neon mountain bike returning as an object of admiration or desire, but I suspect it will happen none-the-less.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601092971406547119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-81453769524293559442010-10-13T21:13:51.997-04:002010-10-13T21:13:51.997-04:00Great stuff - thanks for sharing.

Or did they just have a stamp mold that did it in one shot? Those are really neat, and you just might be able to sell them for $300 . . . just sayin'.<br /><br />I appreciate what you've done with fenders, and hope you continue what you are already doing, and continue to explore new ideas. I bought your 48cm/700c fenders as an "interim", while I waited for over a year for the Honjo Le Paon on backorder. I bought the Le Paon, finally, because I think they're my favorite overall. BUT, I like the VO 48s so much, I'm not going to change them out. I'm saving the Le Paon for a future bike.MMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01422762640335553379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-17471610732236402252010-10-13T18:03:12.778-04:002010-10-13T18:03:12.778-04:00"It's like that with so many of the parts..."It's like that with so many of the parts we like and shows how far ahead those French guys were"<br /><br />Or what a bunch of nostalgic retro grouches WE are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-43561337116675481512010-10-13T14:16:26.961-04:002010-10-13T14:16:26.961-04:00We'd love to make those rack/fenders, but the ...We'd love to make those rack/fenders, but the tooling costs would probably cause them to sell for $300.
