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.

'83 Fuji Touring Series IV

Here's one that I recently finished and sold. It found a new home somewhere in San Francisco with nice, neurotic lady who planned to turn it into a townie. I almost sold it to a hipster from the Mission who wanted very badly to turn it into a fixie, but I decided I couldn't let that happen to a nice bike like this one.

    Hipster dudes should only be allowed to turn Schwinn Varsity's and Sears Free spirits into fixies not cool old touring bikes - just one man's opinion.

    Are those brake levers original, and if not, what are they? I just bought a touring IV and I want to swap out the levers. Thanks!
