Bike Makers here?

Not any more. Thanks to Ed Dolan's endless troling and the responses it
generates, most of the regulars in this group decided to abandon it.
There used to be a lot of recumbent manufacturers posting here.
Barcroft, Bacchetta, Easy Racers, Lightning, RANS, Rotator, etc. All of
these used to post here, some more frequently than others, plus a lot of
homebuilders, racers, and people well known in the HPV scene.

This again illustrates my contention that ARBR is full of idiots. First of
all Joao top posts without even including the original message to which he
is responding. Secondly, he is the one that is trolling by mentioning my
name in connection with a post which has nothing to do with me. Thirdly,
Joao (is he Brazilian - his name sounds Portuguese), like almost all top
posters, does not know what he is talking about. The threads are all here
for bike manufacturers, etc. to post to their heart's content. The only ones
I will ever interfere with are characters like Mr. Ball of BikeRiderOnLine
who thinks it is OK for ARBR to be a forum for liberal rants and that anyone
who disagrees with those rants should not be here in the first place.

The fact is that persons posting to a newsgroup are constantly changing.
There is a coming and going here as there is on any newsgroup which is
natural and normal. Do you really want the same old characters here forever?
Saying the same old things? In the same old ways?

I for one am very glad that many of those old timers are now gone. I lurked
here for 6 months before I ever posted and it just about drove me crazy
reading their damn liberal rants and hate speech consisting of nothing but
off the cuff remarks on Bush and the Republicans and conservatives. I mean,
just who the hell did they think they were? It is good riddance to bad
rubbish now that they are mostly gone. May they never return!

Are there any bike makers here? Has anyone made a frame?

Thanks ahead of time!

I've seen posts from Steve "Speedy" Delaire from Rotator every once in
a while. He builds frames for Easy Racer, Lightning, and his own
Rotator brand. Is that good enough for you?

Jeff

That sounds pretty good, I'll have to keep my eye out for Speedy...

thanks!

guys from Craink-It.

Do You mean homebuilt frames?
If so there are several sites that have home building forums.
http://www.bentrideronline.com/ has a homebuilder forum.
I have made all the bikes I ride except for one.
You can see them at my site http://www.harnettcycles.com/
I have a link page there also for more info.
