Tom,

You have a beautiful Gangl, so my compliments. Rich Gangl does very nice work and I have wanted to add a Gangl to my collection for some time now. It should also be mentioned that Rich Gangl has been and still is very active in bike racing, particularly on the track. I believe he's still ranked as a Cat.1 as well as a Master 50-55. Seems like I saw something to the effect that Rich builds only titanium frames now & only in very small numbers.

   I got the Gangl I have been working on up and running yesterday. Pics are up on Wool Jersey. Many folks are probably not familiar with this rather reclusive American Builder out of Colorado. Rich Gangl is quite a successful racer who lives in his mother's basement and communicates with folks very little. I have even talked to other Colorado builders who don't know him. He builds very few bikes. His finish levels and mitering are among the very best. I believe it was Doug Fattic who told me a few years ago that I should keep an eye out for one of this guy's bikes. He probably used more heart cutouts on this bike than I have ever seen a builder use. http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/Tom-Sanders-Pictures/1986+Gangl/ Tom Sanders Lansing, Mi USA
