Simpy Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Other than Mr Du Toit in Bellville, are there any steel frame builders active in the country?
Daideron Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 What ever happened to Gemini cycles? Duncan? Macintyre?
mtbmaranata Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Is Goty still around, he build my firt ZINI for me, whay back in the early 90's
LeTurbo Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Salvo is building BMX bikes in steel. They've also got a ss commuter - regularly seen at Critical Mass. I don't know if it's part of the regular line-up though...
Johan Bornman Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 What ever happened to Gemini cycles? Duncan? Macintyre?He packed his stuff, sold his jigs for scrap, sold the tools, sold the plot and moved to Cape Town. I have no idea what he's doing there but he has to be around doing something in this industry. I'd like to find out myself.
Daideron Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 He was a strange bloke, but a nicer guy you would be hard pressed to find. Pity though, he was a great frame builder. I never rode one of his frames, but he did some nice stuff. He was ahead of his time, while guys like Gotty were doing normal run of the mill stuff, Macintyre was really experimental.Cape Town? At least he'll fit in there
