    bicicleta para el cinco de mayo

    When I was working at the local bike shop during the bike boom, the owners had problems getting bikes to sell. Raleigh was their main line but with Raleigh they would order 300 to 350 bikes in September for January delivery and sell them all in just a couple months. So they had to buy any other...

    Trek 60 Mountain Lion rebuild

    I finished this up today. 2001 Trek 60 Mountain Lion. Have some neighbors who bike a bit and their kid is on a 16"er with tiny cranks. He just can't go fast enough on that. The Trek has 6 speeds. Full tear down. Lots of scratches and scuffs so I masked off the decals and sprayed more paint...

    Bike Horn

    I sometimes get whinney complaints from walkers on the trail about not letting them know I'm passing them. I don't for several reasons. I've tried bells and had packs of women stop and scatter looking for birds and wondering out loud what that noise is. I don't have a loud voice. Most...

    Schwinn Z Force 2005

    Fresh find, not quite Vintage but pretty cool. Aluminum frame with diamond shaped top & down tubes, rectangular stays. Solid sprocket but it's swaged to cast iron crank arms. Cleaned & tuned up and ready to go. The knobs vibrate the entire frame on smooth asphalt.

    Slow boat from China. Or is that Malabo Equatorial Guinea

    August 1, 2023. I ordered some gold aluminum dice valve caps. Looked up my ebay history, the seller is in China. Oops. Over sight on my part. I usually don't order from there as it can take a month for stuff to arrive. If ever. March 14, 2024 (Pi Day!). One valve cap arrived! Holes in...
