Work'n, Work'n, Work'n

It's been crazy busy lately, I have enough work at the casa I had to take an extra day off from the Bicycle Outfitter. I do a few side gigs for some friends (and friends of friends... if you need a wrench and don't dig bike shops shoot me an email) but most of the my home wrenching is for the HRS/Rock Lobsters and Mike Ahrens has been hooking me up with a good stream of builds.

Check out Mike's Blog for the latest build I did for him.


16.25 steel rocket, Mike did an awesome group spec. as always. The tube set he used is killer, check out the rear stays and the down tube on this one.

He also fowarded me an email from the lady who I built up the red road frame in March, she already has 1500 miles on it and just completed the AIDS ride from SF-LA with not a single mechanical problem. That's what I love, getting people out riding and loving it.

I need to start getting some miles in soon, I just have no motivation to do any road riding these days. I really want to get back on the dirt but I need to go slow. I have too many concussions from pushing it on the dirt the last couple of years, one more good whack to my dome and I might as well join the Special Olympics. Humm now that I have Sundays-Tuesdays off maybe I'll make Monday a long/easy ‘cross day to force myself to do a little road and some get some easy dirt miles.
