Friday's repair run down... - Black Mountain Cycles

By blackmountaincycles, Jul 03, 2010

Friday was titanium day, that is for sure. It’s not always like this. Some days there’s a steel bike too. However, yesterday was most assuredly titanium day at Black Mountain Cycles. First up was a really sharp looking painted titanium Serotta cross bike that got a new stem and Salsa Woodchipper bars. The Campy 10s Ergo levers work very nicely with the shape of the Woodchippers.

Next up was another Serotta titanium bike. This was in for a check-up before the owner heads out on a 750 mile ride from Astoria, OR to Pt. Reyes Station, CA. Oh yeah, the owner of the bike is about 75 years old and can ride the heck out of his bike still.

Then came a Zinn road bike. This particular Zinn used to be Lennard’s personal bike and is now owned by a 6’9″ local resident. The interesting thing about this bike is that the seat height with the 195mm cranks is very close to my seat height.

And finally, even though this bike was finished the day before, I’ll put up some more detailed shots of the frame and components because it’s just a damn cool bike. Yep, talking ’bout the Merlin Newsboy complete with custom touches by Charlie Cunningham and Steve Potts.
