Last week, my mechanic built up a little cross frame i found on Ebay. Nothing to exotic, just a Colnago Dream frame. I mean just because it has a hand painted frame from denoted as the AD4 scheme, and is more of a work of art than a bike. What the paint [...]
Where to begin?? Okay I suppose I should start at the beginning.

I was interviewed by the local news paper, covering the event. Kinda funny, but it was your typical interview, why are you riding, how long is the ride, yada yada yada. Though the main purpose of the article was [...]
So last year it seemed that ever ride that I attempted had me with multiple flats. Now I was running Michelin Krylon Tires These tires I love as well as they have excellent grip, and are very positive when corner and descending at speed. However i had the craps of the flats. [...]
Kids these days. So last night, I left my client bound and determined to work out. Perhaps just something different to break up the monotony of traveling. I decided that I should get some decent running sneakers, and thus I headed over to the mall to the local foot locker.

There are several things that i didn’t count on, first is the simply the beauty of this machine, Sure some say [...]
Well it seems that Will has made some good progress on the Opera. We are still waiting on the bars, which had we been working with a normal company, that had ethics, and a scosche of customer service we could have counted on yesterday. Or Today. However With GITA you never know.
Hopefully if they are [...]
