After 24 hours the Tally is in..........
CR list members WHO HAVE EMAILED me have purchased 27 bikes in the last 5 years or so. I received about 15 emails total. My only criteria was that the bike was steel, KOF, and purchased from the builder, not second hand. Below are my observations and results by builder.
CR lurkers have some really fantastic bikes.
It seems that CR list members who are the most active posters (except for one, you know who you are) didn't claim to have ordered any KOF frames or bikes.
More than a few list members have bought a KOF frame second hand from the builder.
There are some really great builders none of us claim to have purchased from in the last few years (Dave Kirk, Sacha White, Doug Fattic).
Results below:
Sachs (6) Baylis (4) Kvale (2) Nagasawa(2) and one each of Goodrich,Landshark,Bates,Caygil,Weigle,Hampsten,Strawberry,Kendria,Hetchens,TiCycles,Mercian,Zaconato.Pegoretti.
If there are more I'll update the list.
