Hi All,
The Thai Mountain Bike Forum (
http://www.thaimtb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=264&t=321753 ) has a large section -- 24 pages and counting --showing Sherpas belonging to their members and others...some originally posted by our members here and elsewhere on the 'Net.
Lots of beautiful SE Asian scenery with nice depictions of Sherpas "out in the wild" and a few being built-up in shops. A search of their forum pulls up mention of other Thorns, but nothing quite like the Sherpa gallery. There are a few Nomads pictured among them.
Most of the bikes appear to be built-up from bare frames, most likely the result of Thai import duties exceeding 200% on complete bicycles. There are some beautiful results, and some interesting perspectives on bike fit that apparently work well for the owners. Among the most interesting to me is drop bars with the tops set well above the saddles. Their Sherpas are beautifully maintained and certainly well-loved!
Best,
Dan.
