Carbon LandSharks-Good or Bad Thing
      06/01/04 09:20 AM (12.75.197.203)

Just checked out the LandShark homepage for the first time in a while. John's now gluing together carbons frames using the Dedaccaciai DCS system.
see the pic http://www.landsharkbicycles.com/index.html

I can understand the business reasons for John to do this but since this is a packaged system, the custom aspect of the DCS bike is the paint job.

Furthermore, the lugging system is butt ugly. The bike reminds of some PVC with ugly connecting fittings leading from a sump pump. This is the antithesis of the beautiful Slawta brazing that typifies the LandShark.

I guess that steel must be really dying out.
