i was in Portland, OR a week ago and i had the opportunity to take this baby out of the stable.


did i mention it weighs 15 lbs?
did i mention i rode it?
this is a prototype that Sacha White of vanilla bicycles has created for the 07 cross season. only 30 will be made.

it is called Speedvagen.

You rode it? I'm jealous. Sacha's the man, and super nice too. That's an attempt at semi-mass production, since you have to stand in line for months or years to get a Vanilla these days.

Holy f&*kin smokes batman. I think all CX coordinators should have one of those. Who's chippin' in to buy me one.

i feel bad for the poor schmuck that has to paint it.

Should be called Sickvagen- I hope the red unicorn is on the frame somewhere-and speaking of unicorns, good luck with your pro career.

My nose is on the floor and my hands in prayer fold. Goodness.

Actually, the "creating" part was done by some one else. Mr. White can't tig weld, he only brazes

do you know Mr White personally Manny?
i believe design is part of creation isnt it? and Sacha did engineer it. he is working with another builder (Mike Desalvo) to make these frames.
