NY Post Editorial on Cyclists in NYC

Titled “DANGEROUS BIKE RIDERS RUN WILD WITH IMPUNITY IN NYC” and written by Kyle Smith, the NY Post have published another 5th grade level, whiny and allusion-filled rant about something that irks them. I’m not familiar with Mr.Smith’s writing, nor do I make a point of regularly reading the Post (if you are unfamiliar, it [...]

A Most Amazing Salsa Fargo

Most amazing! Every aspect of this bike was thought out in such thorough manner.

Custom ELVS wheels. I remember making these rims. I’d never seen the Blunt before, but was impressed.Off

The 1999 Giro – a short Pantani retrospective from Cyclingnews.com

A quick and touching read on the beginning of Pantani’s professional downward spiral.

Pantani had decisively won the last two mountain stages, defeating his closest competitor, Simoni, by over a minute each time. UCI tests showed a suspiciously high hemocrit level (in excess of 50%) and was indicative of EPO usage. Ugh. Pantani was [...]

Look Bike Contraption

Bonkers! I don’t think this was a production model (at least I hope not!) judging from all the craziness going on. In fact, I think the only normal parts are the brake levers and the front caliper! Everything else looks like it was inspired by heavy doses of psychedelic drugs… Ah, the [...]

Ross and Keith

This photo kills me. Ross looks like a Ramones roadie and Keith looks like an 80′s baseball player.

If you don’t know who either of these fellows are and consider yourself passionate about bikes, you owe it to yourself to do a quick bit of research. Ross founded Salsa (one of my all [...]

Charlie Cunningham and Cunningham Bikes

This is hard. I’m trying to write something on Charlie Cunningham, his current company (Cunningham Bikes,) his involvement with the Cycling industry, Wilderness Trail Bikes (WTB) and it is proving really tough to summarize.

CC is probably one of the foremost innovators and free-thinkers in cycling from the last 30+ years.

His innovations, [...]

My Killer New Saddle

Last weekend was the Trexlertown spring swapmeet. I didn’t attend, I almost never attend anything actually… But my good friend, co-worker and generally fast guy, Mattio made the trek. He kept an eye out for parts on my behalf and look what he came back with.

Oh shit yes. I’m not going to [...]
