Than you, Paul. Glad to hear there are even more getting to enjoy the mediums. I recall each Rosco was based on specific surplus forks, from Simpleone, Appaloosa, Hunq, etc. but definitely forgot or missed that a follow up run was made for the smaller size Mixte. Likely just overlooked being exc

Yowza, Edward! That's a really beautiful build. I love the flash of red that the chainstay wrap adds to the limeolive. Very cool. Your Sam's got all the right proportions and with those albatross bars I'll bet it is a dream to ride! Nicely done! Cheers. On Sunday, December 18, 2022 at 8:40:51

Yes, the saga continues! I think it’s plausible that the prototype was indeed a prototype for both bikes — let’s call it a super heavy duty frame prototype — even if that was not the intention from the get go. And then there would have been a split, so to speak, with one going in this direction
