If you did, i found that review very helpful. It’s hard to find feedback from this unit, as it is kind of old. The thing is that I’m planning to get one at a great price from an online shop and I have some questions for you. Would you mind giving me some of your input on this mixer?
Questions:
Do you believe it can make it to battle mixer status if the factory crossfader is replaced (with an Innofader, X Fade, P&G) ?
Do the EQs fully kill their sound?
Even if it doesn’t have balanced ouput and other bells and wistles, would you use it for professional use (clubs, big gigs)?
Thanks for any support and time!

that review is a couple years old so I don’t remember about the EQ, but in general I would NOT recommend it. it was not well made and had issues that made it unsuitable for professional use. furthermore, any units still available for sale are now quite old and not supported by Roland. don’t buy it.
Hey,
Just wanted to say your site is sweet, your tracks are bomb, and your sneaker game is on point. I saw my flickr picture off to the right. Im not sure how it got there but thank you for supporting(green with purple earthquake dunks).
Regards,
Alex
thank you Alex! the flickr widget in the sidebar pulls in photos that have been tagged “dunks” i think… I set it up three years ago so I don’t quite remember but I’ve always like the images it pulls in.
cheers,
Catnap
I came across your site through my flickr trackbacks, I was wondering why my pics were on your site until i read the above. Thanks for the clicks. =o)
Simon,
wanted to shoot you a question and a referral in the music business if you get a chance can you send me an email and I can respond that way?
thanks,

hi Ovadiah, you can reach me at mechastudios *at* usa dot net.
Hi Kent, unfortunately I sold the smaller Zunow frame to a lovely lady from the NYC Fixed Gear forum. I wish I had kept her contact info, as I’m wondering how she built it up.
Hey,
So I saw that you built up a new Surly Traveller's Check. Does that mean that you are getting rid of the old Surly LHT. If you still have it available are you selling it? That Long Haul Trucker is a beautiful bike! Let me know if you still happen to have it. Feel free to email me back.

Hi there, just wanted to ask you if you need your twitter account @catnap anymore? You did not tweet for like 4 years now and I would really appreciate if you could transfer the account to me 🙂
Just a question, I can understand if you want to keep it, tho. :-]
Jordan – I sold the LHT last Spring, sorry! I guess I should update that post to say that.
Strawberry – sorry, my twitter handle is not for sale. if it makes you feel better, i've been waiting over 10 years for the owner of catnap.com to sell the domain. 🙂
Yo!
I see you posted that you have and love your 1988 Cannondale SR500 Road Bike…it took your post to help me figure out what exact model my bike is and now I know it’s the exact same one! I’m looking to sell it to get a touring bicycle. Are you interested in picking up another one? Exact same color too : )
Let me know!

Hey man, love your bikes… I’m on the hunt for a 21 inch all chrome vintage road bike. If you know of any out there, please give me a shout. I’m 5’9 but with shorter legs I suppose, because my stand over clearance is minimal on my 21 inch panasonic bike. I think I can get away with a 22 inch, or 20 inch, so anything between 51-56 cm. Thanks! – John
Thank you for the kind words John! I don’t have any specific leads on where to get the bike you’re looking for, but if you want an all-chrome road bike then I’d suggest buying a vintage bike that is chromed under the paint. Then you can strip off the paint easily with chemical stripper, which doesn’t affect the underlying chrome. That’s what I did with the Centurion bike I had.
Hey man, I sort of forgot about your awesome site, and I ended up picking up a Ross MT Hood and having it built up the way I wanted and with some googling here I am again! I read your blog on yours, very cool and I agree. I have the 87/88 roller cam brake version. Heavy but rides well. I initially picked up a Schwinn high sierra that is color over chrome and I was going to take your advice but I ran into this bike for 200 bucks and figured most of the work was already done on such a similar bike. Long story short, I have the schwinn frame and most parts, any interest in another chrome project? I’m debating selling it or building another. You can see all this stuff with a quick scroll on my IG @johnoliva1
Let me know what you think! Hope all is well – Oliva
Hi John! I checked out your Instagram and the bike looks great. All chrome is always classy, and $200 is a sweet price for a Mt. Hood. The price of these things keeps going up on eBay. I’ll reach out via Instagram regarding the Schwinn frame.
Hi, I saw your 3rensho road bike builds and I wished I’d come across them sooner.
I actually like in Tokyo and I have a bike built by Shinichi Konno. I love it but it’s a fixie and I’m constantly looking for a vintage 3rensho road bike. they don’t have the bigger sizes here (I’m 6”2’) . If you come across a 58 or so don’t hesitate to let me know.
HI! I am writing you so as to find/ ask you about a pair of supra skycap golds ( the original). What is the best email to write you directly? Its time sensitive
Hi there, great site with awesome info about Zunow bikes. I’m looking at one on eBay that looks somewhat similar to your 650b grail bike. Do you know the tire clearance on that bike? Thanks!
Hi Kevin, my Zunow randonneur bikes can fit 42mm tires. I’m riding Grand Bois Hetres on mine and my wife’s Zunow has Pacenti Pari-Motos. You might be able to fit something a bit wider, but there’s not a ton of clearance at 42mm.
Hello,
We have an early to mid 80’s Cuevas tandem that has not been ridden in 8 years, or so. We have had it for about 15 years and used it primarily on local vintage bike rides. My wife no longer rides and I am looking to find a new home for this incredible bike.
It was completely chromed and then painted, leaving all the braze ons chrome. It was suggested to me by the previous owner, that this may have been built for a bike show, I contacted Mike Fraysse a long time ago and he didn’t have any pictures that could verify this.
I can send more info and I should put the pics on flickr or something?
Thanks

Great mixes kid!
About a year ago you posted on this thread http://prollyisnotprobably.com/2010/07/stunning-zunow-road-frame/ saying you had a Zunow bike that was too small for you. If you still have it can you email me please.
cheers
