    Those are some cool old bikes! Thankfully the really big wheel thing seems to be dying out. 30" wheels are dumb in pretty much every case, and now there are a few that have gone bigger than that. I almost pulled the trigger on a WCC roller a couple years ago when Jesse wasn't making bikes, but held back. Now he's making frames and parts again and someone way overpaid for that frame. I am going to build a little hot rod bar hopper at some point, something timeless, with nothing but wheels and a motor... pure function.
