Cavalcade of blog posts…

Been busy. Too busy, seemingly, to post anything here. Takes time to upload photos, think up something to write, and do all that and take care of all the bikes that are coming in. This post will be a “what’s in the stand” post on a recent cross bike I built.

This cross bike represents something very close to what I was thinking of building for myself. I’ve been thinking I really should be on something newer than 1995 8-speed parts. After all, it’s really my responsibility to know exactly how all this new 10-speed stuff works.

Really like the shape/feel of the new Salsa Cowbell 2 handlebar

Just a bit proud of how the head tube decal turned out
