Welcome, jerks.


Yeah, I got the fever. Three or four years ago, a rabid, red-eyed zombie sank its rotten teeth into my arm and thus I was infected with a peculiar strain of irrational obsession. Since then I have breathed, eaten, and slept bikes and almost nothing else. Maybe a vaccine will be invented, or maybe it'll simply pass, but until then I'm a slave to my compulsion to buy, transport, take apart, degrease, scour, lube, polish, assemble, tune, tighten, align, wax, buff, and yes, ride, ride, ride these magical two-wheeled machines.

So, the idea is, on this page I'm going to post pictures and perhaps stories of bikes that I've refurbished and ridden or ones that are in the process or recently completed. Maybe it'll expand from there. We'll see, I guess.

#2 & 3

#2 The bike that I usually ride when I want to spend a few hours pedaling, sweating and regretting those last couple of beers the night before is an '86 Trek 500 Tri Series. Well the frame is, anyway.




#3 My newest bike is one that I'd been looking for, for quite a while. It's an '85 Team Miyata that I ordered from a very nice fellow in upstate NY. I've only taken it on a couple of short rides so far.
