One of my hardware vendors constantly sends me classic photo post cards. This one arrived today. I thought it was worth sharing. 
Move up to the new hotness: non-round wheels!
My buddy B1umboy sent me a link to a geometry calculator toy so I can while away the day wondering how my bike will handle if I raked out my fork to ridiculous proportions:
Phew it has been quiet here recently. I guess Winter has resulted in a bunch of riding the couch and not a lot of crazy epic rides or anything crazy at all.

Grab a banana, peck the wife on the cheek, and out the door for a non-agenda ride. Just go as far as I can, push back the biting wind, re-align everything. It's been a great year, 2008. This won't be a recap, I promise, just a [...]
