this one topic could branch off in 5 directions by itself. for example, why is this frame so special? why is it so huge? whos was it? who cares?....
this is about how awesome it is that something like an old bike frame can get people so stoked. This frame is an old terrible one bar code frame. big dave moved to providence and he had it packed up and told us we could put it up in the shop for people to look at or maybe even hold it if they needed to. Its an old used bike that he made over ten years ago when he worked at spooky, and people are stoked to touch it why? Dave kept it because it was an original prototype barcode that Joe Rich and Ruben Alcantara rode. when i emailed a picture of it to joe he told me some history about it and ended it with "holy crap". When Van Homan saw it he was so pumped he got out his camera and took a picture of himself holding it.vic is gonna hang it on the wall in the shop like a piece of art. im writing about it because im stoked on it. and it just keeps going...
its just an old bike frame.....
I remember a photo of ruben riding that frame years ago, exact stickers. Think it was in dig. Rad.
