I recently posted some Tom Kuhns on the board for sale. I’ve been asked several times if any of the Mandalas came with bearing axle. All mandalas were fixed axle. But did you know that one of the Purgatory models did come with a bearing? Check the link below to the Museum.

Oh wow. Before reading your post I thought maybe this was a one-piece fixed axle.
