i have bought 3 bikes from tom - all exactly as
described and delivered timely. great rides. the
rear entry ritchey dropouts were the bomb on the
crit bike with bent seat tubes. plus, he built me
a custom cx bike... very very nice...

the paint is not perfect.. but the price was very
competitive with mass produced bikes of lesser
quality. the only 'bad' thing was that the
paint does appear to chip more then on other
bikes i have owned. no clue why.

yes, the very very specific caad diagrams were a
treat and allowed me to customize what i wanted to
do (ie; the cross bike was a mix of road and mtb
tubesets... stiffer stays and gentle main triangle
for comfort.

tom is a very cool dude and would surely welcome
a discussion (including about pricing.. for those
of you who commented it is not on his web - just
send him an email?)

yes. I'd like a richard sachs.. or another chris
kelly cx bike.. or a ... oh the list goes on...
but truth be told, for the money, i'd surely give
tom another order in a heartbeat.

Hello All,

I'm deciding on whether to have Tom Teesdale custom build a Greenspeed style
recumbent trike for me or not. I have read some negative postings on this
and other newsgroups about him, mostly about bad paint jobs and poor
customer service.

I'd appreciate some input, both positive and negative, from those of you who
have purchased stuff from him.


Thanks,
Mike C.
