Well fellow devotees of the big wheels, you might recall one of my past writing about the extinction of dinosaurs such as the 650B our beloved Infantile Tom likes to ride (despite a limited selection of forks, wheels & tires). So enamored is Tom with it's quirkiness, he has often been seen shedding tears of happiness after a venture through the trails of Stewart, and as more beers are consumed he willingly spews countless virtues of it's superiority to big wheels (kind of like a less endowed guy claiming size doesn't matter).
Rumors are running rampant through the region that Infantile Tom's beloved Vicious Cycles frame has incurred the dreaded headtube crack and while we feared the worst might have befallen our dear friendwe were relived to know that he was safely back at the shop pitching tents and generally f*#king off in the stock room.
The ability to save the patient is in question as Vicious Cycles founder, Carl, has disappeared off the face of the planet. Our search for him on the Internet did came up empty and eventually we were directed to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission where we found this drawing.Completely distraught over the potential loss of his dear 650B, the NECS did what any good friend would do and directed him to Newburgh's local shop that would have the expertise to make the repairsbut due to the recent fallout between Paul and Paul Jr. there is speculation that the frame has been cut in half with each side taking a piece and is a central point of the pending lawsuit between OCC & Paul Jr. Designs. Stay tuned to the Discovery Channel for more details as this exciting story unfolds.
