+==== Gilmour Cycles ====
+Andy Gilmour has hand built over 5,000 racing bicycle frames and complete bikes since 1974 out of his shop in Tuscon, Arizona.  He built a very few ATBs starting in 1975/6, which he called "cycle trucks."  The example here has been rebuilt with "newer" components and removed a brazed on rack - but retains its bi-plane fork, 73/73 geometry, BMX style braking, handlebars and horizontal, rear drop-outs.  ((This exact bike was listed on [[https://austin.craigslist.org/bik/d/gilmer-gilmour-atb/7761838418.html|Craigslist]] in Austin, TX for $2,500 on June 30, 2024.))
