K-tel's Croll

a while back I posted about a Croll track bike that I saw on Bike Snob.

This last weekend I met the owner of the bike, K-tel, and got to take a few pics.

This is the only pursuit style Croll I've ever seen and the owner reports that it is the strongest frame he's ever had. The original fork was crushed in an interaction with an auto but the rest of the bike emerged unscathed.

Croll's were built in Minneapolis, and if you own a welded one, it's a pretty safe assumption that it was built by Peacock Groove's Erik Noren

I also told him that if he ever decides to sell it, to give me a shout. That bike is badass.
