As many of you know, I borrowed (stole) ideas for my bike from Carpy. Hell, he provided some of the parts and the seat

Anyway.......I was out on a tear the other day. As I pulled into a parking spot at the pub, this guy comes walking with wide open eyes straight towards me. He says..WOW I just saw your bike in Cycle Magazine. Took me a moment and then remembered Carpys last mag feature and had to spill the beans that mine was not the bike in the Mag

Still, it was kind of fun

Theres a guy in Eastern NY who has a shop full of Carpy style bikes that he builds and sells. I saw a couple on Ebay a few weeks ago. Less than $1000.00 last I saw. Kind of Spooky seeing a photo of his shop with what looks like 10 bikes that were all the same. I mean they were all black, with the logo and checkers.
