Those Quadrangles are awesome! I have a SS rigid 29" mountain bike with a small frame and it's like a big wheel BMX, you like that root beer color or would you go for something else?

Re: My Workplace , Just built my dream bike 7/21

I think the rootbeer is the only color the 29 comes in.

Been busy, here's my bosses latest trade in, 90's GT, with Spintech carbon fiber wheels, it needs a correct tire and seat, I get to polish it up in the near future.

I got done with this tall Mobecane today,totally went thru everything on it, cleaned it up.

This one may be up for sale soon

And here's another Gt to redo for the employees to race at the track 8)

Here's some of the things I do, this poor Carbon Fiber Specialized had been sitting quite a while, gave it the deluxe tune up,which consists of greasing the hubs (breaking them down and loading with grease) greasing all the cables,cycletune all the movable parts,and detail and air up tires and test ride

Re: My Workplace , Yuba Mundo ,Alive again 8/27

One of our customers came in with this today, still working on it but it looks like fun

This is the ghost bike we put together for a local doctor that got killed by a truck and trailer cutting the corner, only good that came out of this is ,it is bringing the community together.

Re: My Workplace , Yuba Mundo ,Alive again 8/27

Just curious about the ghost bike, I see you left it mostly stripped, but for the remaining parts on the bike, did you round off screws and nuts so that nobody could score a stem or other small part?

Re: My Workplace , Yuba Mundo ,Alive again 8/27

Oh have die grinder will travel,,, and you can see the front wheel chained on the frame, we had this bike brought in to the shop after it was backed over by a pickup, it WAS a high end Lemond roadbike, we had to straighten it as much as possible to at least get the rear wheel in. And then someone took down the sign and threw it in the bushes, so now we have to reinforce the sign :shock: .

ditching the sign is just Wrong!
The motoring public needs some major education about bicycle rights and responsibilities.

Too many people think that bicycles belong on sidewalks and not on streets, although most states have laws against riding on sidewalks and require bicycles to use the roadway and follow all motor vehicle rules, as well as some common sense rules about taking a lane, etc.

There are a a lot of bicycle advocacy groups out there who are trying to get "bike friendly" projects accomplished, which includes education of the general motoring public.
Please consider joining and supporting them to keep the number of ghost bikes to a minimum.

Sheryl and I joined Bike Texas just this weekend.

off soapbox...
