someone sent me link saying there is a Gefsco for sale. i gotta make 25 posts to see the pics so here goes.
i’m from the USA :oops:

cookietruck · October 29, 2009, 6:52am

here are a few of my bikes.
andy white’s old frame. not sure what it is. he said built by mcdonald, paconi’s other builder…

cookietruck · October 29, 2009, 6:52am

gefsco.

cookietruck · October 29, 2009, 6:54am

those are the only two aussie bikes i have.

here’s my main ride right now, american builder. sachs lugs. sport touring type bike.

cookietruck · October 29, 2009, 6:56am

nice italian bike i sold, a bit small but awesome no less.

cookietruck · October 29, 2009, 6:58am

another american bike. built by mark nobilette for the us cycling team.
just had him build me a steel fork for it. the carbon fork has too much rake plus i prefer steel. still gotta paint the fork…

Please don’t. You have some nice rides, but don’t spam the forums just to see a Gefsco. Pics below.

jaseyjase · October 29, 2009, 7:33am

i dont think showing us his nice rides is spamming, i mean this the ‘post your ride’ section

nice bikes by the way champ

cookietruck · October 29, 2009, 11:16am

thanks jase.
i was going to make quality posts…guess i don’t really have to now though.

heavymetal · October 29, 2009, 12:12pm

i dont mind this as a way to get posts up. sure beats “+1”, “wow” etc.

nice bikes cookietruck, real nice.

horatio · October 29, 2009, 3:05pm

+1 Really digging this frame. Nice one.

AL9000 · October 29, 2009, 3:19pm

A flood of posts solely to get trading access is still spamming.

However, I think he has sweet rides too and would like to see them also, along with more background details etc. (And maybe a direct flickr link… please?).

Cookie: Are you from Seattle? I didn’t make it to Davidson when I was touring through the PNW. The Newvex lugs are quite nice. Honjo fenders?

That someone be Spirito. Amirite?

This be Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/73753172@N00/ Amirite?

Just call me super sleuth

spirito · October 29, 2009, 4:25pm

not just a pretty face, eh?

… and yes, I sold Cookietruck a GefSco on behalf of an old framebuilder mate of mine

Sorry Blakey: I posted the “new guy” to these forums as he has a Gesfsco frame very similar to the one posted for sale but without decals and not a lot of history. Just wanted to let him know of another example and didn’t realize he couldn’t view the pics. What with the time diff. and all I just think he was an eager beaver and couldn’t wait … + he has some mighty fine rides !!!

Normally this might be spam but he’ a good egg.

and his chick is Hawt !!!

keromx · October 29, 2009, 8:47pm

agree so is this

also nice bikes, winge all you want, i say “thanks for coming”

JLN_not_ZLTN · October 29, 2009, 8:57pm

I’m more of an aluminium type of guy… well when it comes to basses, not bikes.

DPK5B · October 29, 2009, 9:01pm

Gotta love the Triple Triangle.

a.davis12 · October 29, 2009, 11:33pm

i very much like the gt.

cookietruck · October 30, 2009, 7:50am

haha. not my chick…some old ad i found and posted somewhere.
actually my chick saw that pic in my flickr last night and i got a little shit for it :roll:
jsut a little though.

thanks dudes.

cookietruck · October 30, 2009, 7:57am

not from seattle, from texas.
visited bill davidson’s shop the time i was there though.
got that frame built about a year later after i decided 3 years of track bikes and mess bags was enough for commuting. panniers are great when it’s +100*F for a few months straight. now that it’s colder the mess bag will come back out a bit.

the lugs are actually the sachs rene herse lugs. frame is 73/73, rake is 43mm (puts trail at ~57mm), built for 47/57mm brakes. honjo fenders. tubus rack. great all around bike.

my pbass, 1977. original guard was already gone, and the pickups were dead when i got it. p’ups rewound by Lindy Fralin.
