Got out for a post-rain, pre-feast ride on the road bike. With fenders, it’s no problem to head out for a ride without having to think about how the road/weather conditions will affect your ride. I’m not a big fan of going out to ride in the rain if I can help it, but it’s […]

Got to make room. Between the Friday after Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, I’m going to be posting bikes and parts that are for sale and on sale. Sales prices on bikes are good for in-store purchase only. I just don’t have any boxes big enough to pack a complete bike into at this time. And […]

Been a while since I wrote a “Things I Like” post. It’s not because there haven’t been things I like that I’ve wanted to write about. Early on when I started this blog, I started writing about “Things I Lke,” “Things I Want To Like,” and “Things I Dislike.” Then, in the mean time, this […]

Okay, final installment of Titanium Thursday (one time Thursday event). This one’s a sweet little Willits titanium road bike that had its Ultegra triple components replaced with a mix of 7800 and 7900 Dura Ace. (What’s playing: Social Distortion Ring of Fire)

In the second edition, we have a new Steve Potts build. A really sweet 700c, disc brake cross bike. This is really a go fast dirt road, paved road rocket. Built with a SRAM parts group, White Industries hubs with HED Belgium rims, Thomson seat post, Ritchey bar and stem, and Avid BB7 brakes. The […]

It’s been pretty intense recently. Lots of builds. Lots of repairs. Lots of titanium. I’ll parse out the sweet ti goodness in doses. The first dose is a nice little Steve Potts number that was in to get the fork repainted, new Moots stem and seat post, and new Potts ti bars. Rick at D&D […]

How many times have you ridden past something and taken it for granted? Ridden past something and thought “I should stop sometime and check that out?” Anyone who has ridden past the town center of Inverness on Sir Francis Drake Blvd. has seen the old boat that’s been stranded high and dry on the beach […]

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 […]

Following Cam’s advice on this post, I saddled up last Sunday and rode south on Highway 1 and found Coast View Trail several miles south of Stinson Beach and just south of Slide Ranch. It was definitely more technical than Stagecoach Fire Road. More technical since it was a single-track climb for a bit over […]

This was a first. Pretty fun build too. The owner came up and went for a ride out on the seashore while I built up a Black Mountain Cycles cross bike with an Xtracycle extension. But not before setting up his laptop to take a time-lapse video of the build. Then he went out the […]
