Rick Hunter....genuinely cool guy. Helped Brian out with a flat tire on sunday morning, and then later in the day showed us his bicycles. One of the only builders at the show that had a custom fabricated full suspension bike (with his own linkage design). I think all of us bikes on display really highlighted his diverse abilities as a frame builder. I was mucho impressed with the array of creations...all were fascinating.

word on the street was that Brian put a deposit on a rigid 29er with Hunter...so see folks, it pays to lend a helping hand when you see another in need.
