Handy / Machines / Weird

What's new? Had my butt handed to me in a very kind fashion yesterday on an XC ride, and you know what? It felt great. I probably should have been working, or attempting to put a new headliner in my car, but the phone rang with an offer I couldn't refuse.
Rode with some good people including Greg who has ridden the Rapha Continental. Got introduced to some very tough new trails. Good stuff. Looch claims he's going to ride XC with me sometime soon, and I'll be ready for it.

What else? We will actually be shipping some frames soon. And for those recieving a Tonic..please, please, please, please do not use hand tools to "prep" your frame. Our headtubes and seat tubes are finished with machines. You simply can't improve on that with a hand tool. Photo from Teisuke.


Here's a typically great Cory Tepper photo of Nathan gliding throught the fog at Woodward. Nathan and Charlie look strangely alike on their Fall Guys.


Old, weird, and at one time terribly expensive bike parts. What to do with them?
