Gaansari bike model news update:
Due to rising costs of the raw materials we use to build our framesets (steel tubing, paint. lugs, silver rod, etc.) and higher fuel costs, we've raised our prices slightly. We've also added a fillet-brazed version option to each lugged model, because some have asked, and, our fillet-brazed models (Whirlwind and Mudplugger) have been well received. You'll notice as well the S+S coupler option on all of our models. All particulars can be found on our website. Let us know if you have any questions!
