denise got a surprise new townie yesterday.......it's a completely raw frame, i didn't do any finish work at all, didn't touch the fillets, dropouts or braze ons with a file. came out pretty sweet! i figure i can sell a bike like this for about $2400.00 as pictured - custom geometry and all shimano lx, but without the seat or pedals and a ritchey post instead of a thomson in any wheel size and with customer's choice of bar type {riser, flat, drop} and brakes {v, canti or cable disc} and any color as long as it's black. whadda ya think? steve.

would you call it a Townie Utility Bicycle, or a "Ute," or just plain T.U.B.?
i love it. if/when i ever crush my old Raleigh, i may need one - but with horizontal fork ends.
Shredder rode her yellow touring bike (2x6 drivetrain) to work today, grommet and all!
happy Friday!

Nice Steve!
Like Henry Ford's Model T
Dang, nice work. Nice to keep the files in the rack....at least that's what I say. Those are cool dropouts...what are they? I have not seen those. LX stuff is so great.....it works and it won't break the bank.
those are llewellen stainless dropouts......there are matching fronts, too, also with double eyelets. it's nice to get a socket dropout with eyelets! steve.
absolutely beautiful!!! i used to work w/ denise in the ER at FMC until i started med school 3 years ago... i have my voodoo limba (that i bought at sinagua cycles going out of business sale :) that i just love... but have been checking out your bikes for sometime... when i saw this one, i knew it was time to write!! i think its a great idea! i might have to put in an order. keep on inspiring all of us... much love and peace.
THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER AMAZING RIDE. RIDES VERY SMOOTH AND COMFORTABLE. I LOVE IT.....LOVE YOU STEVE......
