Gus Caicedo-Purewhips-Where Has He Gone?????

Post by Greengo »

What happened to Gus Caicedo of Purewhips? I bought a whip from him a few years ago and his web site is no longer active. I talked to him numerous times by telephone. I recon he gave up. I hope that he is OK. He was a very good whip maker andwas always a nice guy to talk to, or converse with by e-mail.

I hope someone knows.....

I follow him on Instagram, he seems to be OK.

Posted as soon as last week:

Maybe he's just not making whips anymore and likes to keep to himself?

Cheers,

Thank you very much. At least it seems like Gus is alive and well. His web site was still up a few weeks ago, I guess he no longer makes whips. I am an old guy that doesn't use social media sites. That is why I miss so many people.

Again, Thank You.....

I'm friends with Gus on Facebook and he posts all the time. He's still alive and well. He probably just got busy w work and his youngest kiddo.
