BIKEPGH MESSAGE BOARD ARCHIVE

Nope. New to you maybe.

Hmm, okay. I saw them listed as a dealer for origin 8 and got all excited because of the Cykel 3 (lugged steel)

Well, that might be possible. Origin 8 is a manufacturer available thorugh a well-known mail order catalog.

I know that Trek of Pittsburgh had a few of those bikes in stock at one time between their few stores.

ahh the joys of QBP

Kraynick used to be a dealer for some brands of recumbent, maybe still is. But the way he put it was "I don't stock anything, and you can't test ride anything, but if there's something you want I will order it for you."

My best advice is to ask him instead of the experts here

Origin 8 isn't a QBP brand.

I was at gerry's the other day and saw he was selling a brand new origin 8 track frame and fork, i think it was $150 or something. i don't know if he still has it but i'll be up there today and let you know the scoop.

I've definitely seen Kraynick taking someone's order for a new bike before.

he said you'd have to talk to him about it - he wasnt sure if they would sell him just one bike and he doesn't want to be a "dealer"

kraynick is beholden to no one

gerry does what he wants, when he wants. If there are rules wrapped around it, he does not participate.

I'm so, so thankful that a friend introduced my to Kraynick's when I was teenager.

every time i ride by there i think about how much he has done for cycling in this city. when i look at the outside of his shop i feel like we all owe him at least a new coat of paint. Seriously i think we should all get together and fix up his storefront for him.

Or maybe fix his website. Not that he needs a website or would really care. But he does have an unused domain name sitting there.

that is somebody squatting his name. he is upset by it.

I once heard him tell a rep not to come by unless he has free stuff.
