This is 3rd place. I was so sick with allergies this weekend. I only went today (Sunday) to collect the bike. I didn't go Friday or Saturday. We went there at 3:00, the awards ceremony is at 4:00. Worst Autorama ever for me. Bummer because I think this is my last Autorama. Of course I say that...

The winner is,... This sick little 20.

Another day, another Autorama. Looks pretty sparse again this year. They put me in the same exact spot as last year. Luckily I'm looking down on some sweet Impalas and Caddies. Probably about 10 bikes this year. More pics to follow.

$100 or offer.

If interested contact me and I'll hook you up with the owner. It's in Rancho Cordova, Cali at Ventana Mountain Bikes. They can ship. I'm just doing them a favor. I worked there for 8 years, best job I ever had.

Back from pinstripes.

Oh yeah Captain also my favorite color. Ventana had some killer greens. This is the El Toro. It wasn't as quick handling as the Bravo. The Bravo had shorter chainstays for climbing.

One of my favorite bikes ever. I built this based on a little know Ventana called The El Toro Bravo. It was orignally a single speed race bike. I set it up for gears, single speed or belt drive. In the forth pic, yes that is after a crash. You can see the notch in the chainstay yoke for belt...

Not really vintage I guess. Probably around 2005. Prototype Ventana, 29" front, 27.5" rear. I also tested a 26" rear. I loved this one with the 27.5". I wanted to call it the Mullet. But I got over ruled. They went with the 26" rear version and called it "El Chucho" (the mutt). The 27.5 size was...
