That's the time to order these. Mine came from the Black Friday sale a few years back. I love these plants. My original cuttings are about 30 - 35 years old. The one below is only a couple of years old and has turned in to a super bloomer. I stuck a few broken pieces in a pot with a plumeria...

Thanks! I really like the look of them too. It will be interesting to see how they hold up.

I finally got around to fixing up my State Klunker. As others have said, the handlebars just didn't quite do it for me. Also, the saddle hurt my butt and although the knobby tires looked good, they weren't the best ride on the street. I picked up a set of Continental Ride Tour. They have a nice...

A new position at work has interrupted my aspiring bike builds, so here’s a picture of Charly the Cowgirl. She gets worn out after the roundup.

Welcome! My dad lived in Port Townsend for many years and a cousin is in Port Hadlock. Love the PNW.

My dad had a '68 (I think) B-510 back in the mid '80's. He lived on the Olympic Peninsula and would have groups of Japanese tourists taking pictures every time he went into Seattle. It was apparently quite the collector car in Japan, even with miniature Vice-Grips hanging down while clamping two...

I have a State Klunker and really like it. They go on sale around Christmas.

I was bummed that I missed out on their Grateful Dead theme bikes, but decided to pick up the Yellowstone version from the National Park series during their one day sale. The welds are not the prettiest. There are a couple of boogers near a couple of welds and it had some pretty serious...

Would the bending cause the chrome to flake off? The chrome is just a plating and isn't an inherent part of the tube itself. I don't really know much about chrome. My expertise is more about non ferrous metals, but that would be my concern.

You can never go wrong with Sheldon Brown either. I calculated the ratio of the gear I usually ride on my everyday bike, then tried to match it when acquiring parts for my single speed build. Which I'm still acquiring parts for... https://www.sheldonbrown.com/gear-calc.html

Thanks. I really like the colors too. One day when the mechanical parts wear out the frame will make a great RatRod project...

My everyday rider. From Giant of course, I Need Street. It's a nice riding seven speed city bike. All original except the saddle. (I asked Santa for a matching Brooks toolbag.) It was a beautiful day on our Greenway Trails the other weekend. And of course we had to counteract all...

I saw Sammy Hagar open for Boston at the San Antonio Convention Center Arena in 1979. The fireworks that the audience was shooting off inside is still better than any pyrotechnics show I have seen since. There was nothing left when Boston came out... Nothing compares to his old solo work and...

Some of us can be pretty obnoxious...

Welcome! I'm another quiet Texan who's a civilian working in support of Public Safety. My group manages crash data for Police and incident and location analytics for Fire.

Well I thought I found a rear Sturmey Archer single speed freewheel but I got too excited and didn't pay attention. It's the model that takes a 7 speed cog. I wish they would distinguish it in the name and not just as a sub model number. No matter though. I'm building up my inventory and will...

That is a good one, but no. Sons of Science has a naughty word in their title. It's a great compilation of rider stereotypes.

This was a big one several years ago. Go to youtube and search "Sons of Science." Otherwise known as The Bicycle Song... It has a rockin' bicycle bell solo.

Wasn't sure about the advertising part. It is a crazy good deal and the guy said they have more...

I'm not sure if it's appropriate to mention but I found a great deal on the Sturmey Archer X-FD. Ride On Bike Shop out of Canada has them on clearance. They normally don't ship but are working to get me one in the mail. Now if I can only find the X-RD with a single freewheel. They seem to be...
