[SlowerThenSnot]

[Duzitall]

Wade kills it.

Looks like Vulture Cycles is back in a big way!

[burner]

Thanks and enjoy!!!

The swooping tubes took great. I'm glad Wade is back. As soon as it stops raining and the sun comes out I'll try to get some good photos of my freshly re-done bird.

[smaxor]

Bike looks great, nice to see wade back

Goes off to check Vulture Website...

[rzims]

[~martini~]

Wade does indeed build good.

not that i am paying all that much attention but didnt you already do that

[PSpuza]

Dang thats a nice bike. How much does one of those frames cost?

[AL29er]

That's a beauty

[seedy]

Thanks guys. Wade is awesome to work with. It was my first custom frame and I could not be happier. Price? Well, uh..... depends on what you want. So many different variables and options. I'm thinking they start around 1100.00.

[Enoch]

That bike has me hypmotised.

[el-cid]

I'm loving the dual top tubes; reminds me of a Torker BMX bike (or my Haro Master Team) from back when.

[cruso414]

This may be my next frame.....only with sliders.

I did post some so-so photos, but I would like to get some good shots in the sun so the pearl will stand out. Wouldn't be the first time someone posted a pic of their bike twice

Wade's swing dropouts would work and look better.

sex in metal!

There are some pics on his blog I think, and post #24 in this thread looks like that frame has them.

Can't tell much detail from #24 and I went to the blog and went a couple of pages deep, but didn't see that. I will look deeper.

Found the swingers (dropouts, that is):





I found some other cool pics from his Flickr account:

Copper head badge:



Two piece frame:



Bottom bracket:



I'm betting there is plenty of tire-chainstay clearance to the side, but I wonder about the length of the chainstay, how heavy and if the weld between round and flat stock would take a beating:

Lucky you. I saw that thread and completely forgot about it. I guess having that close-up shot of the rear triangle (minus components, etc.) and how it bolts together really caught my eye.

So, how long are your chainstays? Bolts ever work loose? Anything else to report?

[Blatant]

If I were ever in the market for a custom, I'd seriously consider one of these. Beautiful bikes. I particularly like the split top tube models. Awesome.

[schnee]

That first photo is stunning. They just got put on my short list of people to go to if I ever go custom MTB.
