IMHO Sam Cotton is worthy of KOF status. I've only seen one of his bikes. Actually, I rode it. It was a 19 pound bike, steel frame, black paint and chrome asymetrical lugs, like jewelry. Components were mostly Campy SR. The bike looked and rode great.

Ok, I am not sure if Sam Cotten would be considered a KoF but check out ebay item 7185592167 and read the description. To think that my Sachs is made out of wasing maching bits is depressing;-) Didn't Graeme Obree ride a bike he put together out of washing machine parts to an hour record?
