Here is my conversion. See how high I needed the post? That is what killed the bike frame. The bottom of the post was above the top tube. It was a lux ride. See how the fork kicks out, it is foot forward on the seat tube angle, and see the five finger space between the BB and the rear tire. Now...

That is an impressive bike. It is almost like it is 20 years ahead of bikes from 5-years-ago. What is weird is that at the same time fat folder throwbacks from 2009 are still being sold today. It is like when three or four species of hominids lived in the same place and time. One is doing...

I will be doing a new Marin Kentfield gravel conversion. It specs out on par to a Vado SL 2 5.0 but with a much more powerful lightweight motor. It is getting fenders and a rack and a bunch of other things. The owner likes the idea of the external battery so she can quickly drop weight to load...

The kite idea got shot to hell. No wind. So I read a book about a paperboy with an uncool bike learning to stand up to bullies and read it with my toes in the sunshine with some good coffee and a handmade taco.

Hey, I stand corrected and accept that. I am not perfect and get better from each mistake. It is like how you learn to play an instrument. Embrace the screwups. And do not be afraid.

The thing is that with any complex durable good there are some key parts that just are not made domestically. It hijacks the whole thing. Is there one derailleur made domestically. And who in the US wants to work at the derailleur factory.

Polo & shorts with a light sweater for riding with the wind. The kite is packed with a book for a wildflower hour's break and a ten mile ride.

It will never trickle down to the trickeled upon.

Tweety birds awake at dawn and don't shut up.

I ride Crane Creek. It is also a regional park by Sonoma State University. It is a beautiful ride up Presley to North Sonoma Mountain Regional Park and Glen Ellen and Jack London State Park. That ride is what the seat post is named after. That ride can be done on road or off road. Epic.

Fair enough. Someone mentioned about watches. I mentioned that I have the same one as Bill Gates. Then I acknowledged that he, according to his then wife, gave her VD after abusing children with Epstein. It is not a joke.

If that is Mike's Bikes the support level is high for remote customers. Bikes can ship 'ready-to-ride'. That means that they are prebuilt and tuned, then partially disassembled, and you just install the front wheel and turn the bar. Customer service is top notch. I used to work at HQ doing sales...

In the 1980's I was at a college party and there was a girl with big hair in the kitchen. I asked what she was studying. Cosmology. So, I started talking about Sagan, Finaman, and Hawking. It turned out she was studding curling and permanent waves at the school of Cosmetology.

One time on vacation I needed a watch for a day. I walked into a sporting goods store where they had one for $19. It had four sub-dials that were permanently stationary. It was like the guy in the 80's who put a cell phone antenna on his Nissan Sentra. In Bend OR they have a stationary wave. No...

If you see 10 minutes of curling, you have a life long inoculation.

Yes, like Sprit of Saint Louis but for a plane loaded full of the very most loyal, racist, greedy fascists and pedophiles, while a crazed senior Ahab on LSD along with that blue pill, a wrinkled baby bone, and a meth-head-to-the-madness with four sheets to the wind flies it. I gotta make some...

If I had a Toyota Tacoma I would make it into a Taco Mama. It could even be a Toy Yoda Taco Mama.

just deposit a quarter. In the slot to make it go.

I was in a bike shop and a tech said, 'Cool, you have Bill Gates' watch. Too bad that guy gave his wife VD from Epstein exploits with children.
