"Points for sticking it out, but I'd still no go there. Besides, there is Tony who is proven & dependable while this guy couldn't get it together. Getting up hopes & bashing them down is bad mojo, I can trust Tony, this guy, no way.
If he had some stones he'd find a job, raise the capital (it isn't too too much) then sell bikes he has, or simply get a loan & sell bikes he has instead of imaginary bikes,"
They're not imaginary. They're out there in the future somewhere. I couldn't get it together...but I refunded money, so aside from the barrage of emails of "when will it happen?", people trust me.
I have a job. Anough to pay for a family of three. We have one car. That's all I can afford. A loan? right.
Sarah's eye is doing well this morning. I called her once I got to the office. A little goopy she said, but she can see ok with her glasses. Writing about her eye makes mine water.

thats too bad, but not really...
"Check out dude's blog and you'll see that this is his second attempt to do the same, it is current.
Incidentally this thread is now in that blog as great publicity. Glad I could help, just cuz I think it's a risky venture doesn't mean I wish for it not to work out. Also, there's nothing wrong with a cookie-cutter frame if it's cheaper than all the rest."
Thanks ThePistasAtDawn!
I am not being malicious by putting up Fixed-Gear.net back in action. It is risky. I am not going to ask for a bank loan, and I am a man of my word. Last time I refunded a lot of money. No shame in that. People like that. An honest person.
It is cookie cutter and I know exactly how much it costs to produce just one frame. The prices from our Asian friends are waaaay less than some venture like this in the USA. I just want ppl to ride.
ThePistasAtDawn, thanks. I will take all you've said as a compliment.

Yes, it takes a while for google to display updated documents.
"thats too bad, but not really...guys kind of a selfish hick < throwback. haha yeah i read blog too"
"plus it wasn't that he was trying to do it Without Capital, he was trying to sell it to raise capital, but he trying to sell shit to a sewer & too little too late, no class I'm so cool dude salesmanship usually falls on its face even in the too cool crowd"
At least I am trying. Selfish hick? weird. Maybe because he might have a blog, or maybe because he uses the fixedgeargallery forums as his blog with nothing else to do but to be narcissistic with his comments. Eh, I am not going to say anything negative. I got nothing negative to say.
So all day I’ve been biting my lip…why? Sarah had to have emergency eye surgery. She’s got some weird condition in the back of her eyeball. The inside of the eyeball, right above the optic nerve, is detaching. Emergency procedure was to reattach that…the back of the eyeball. She had five shots around her eye to numb it.
I wish I had been there with her. GA! Just another thing to add to the pot. I almost feel sick to my stomach.
She’s on the couch resting. Annabel is over here reading her books…on the 25th is the other eye. Dr said this happens to a lot of people who have severe nearsightedness.
Just the thought makes my eyes water.
Tomorrow, back on the bike to the office.

Love it!
This publicity is by far the best!
Thanks for finding the site. Yes, they're a clone of sorts. The 58cm is a mistake on that site. I accidentally deleted the 58cm Fixed gear frame PDF, but the one you see is for the Angry Goose project. Cross bikes that are still in the drawing board.
Love it love it love it!
Why is Fixed-Gear.net back up again? I have a family to feed, and if it all goes well with this next try (and thank you for all the inquiries), then there will be nice frames for those of you on a budget.
Some people on that board might see the fixie thing with some negativity, but that’s because they’re jealous I think. So what. At least they ride bikes and they’re unknowingly promoting this.

I think all that "order by june" "first 100 frames" stuff has been up there for a looong time - last year about this time.
Like I said, let’s see what happens. At least I refunded all the money for the $2000 short I was by the deadline. Meaning, no one sued me for fraud, because that’s not me. I refunded money, something not a lot of people nowadays would do with a large amount of cash.
