Grandpa's Chameleon

The Alfine hub kind of 'loads up' on engagement. A strange sensation, but not a deal breaker.



Giving Thanks

By pedaling up a big hill and then bombing some really good singletrack. (Which is illegal, which a strange man who rode all the way to the top, on a bicycle warned us that he calls the police on people who partake in that singletrack.) Thanks.
Cam McCaul ate some pie. Evan Turpen brought paper cups to accompany his bottle of Dom Perignon (1999), and one of the Aptos kids climbed way too far with no seat.

Pedal the Plug-In.

I am all for alternative forms of transportation. With that being said let me now unravel this gem. Grace make electric bikes, they actually make the first street legal electric bike capable of 45kph or for us lazy Yanks, 30 miles per freakin hour. So for just a mere 8,768.31 USD you too can throw a leg over one of these fine steeds. Think about it...tucked in the aero position shooting in and out of traffic as you roll on your "Super-Moto" tires and your god awful upside down Shiver/Zzyzx/Marz fork. Sweetness comes in German packaging.
So you can shift and pedal an electric bike? Just crack the throttle, why would you want to pedal a possibly hefty hard tail around? Look at that hub! Buy a Rohloff and run it on a decent steel XC hardtail, get your exercise and lose the science.

Are you lazy?

Than have the fine gents over at Bertelli of New York City build you a snazzy fixed gear littered with obscure components and the always titillating, NOS. Fixed guys love that NOS... Prices are reasonable considering the quality and part spec. Part of me wonders if his services only cater to those new to the game?

Look at this dumb shit.

The "2951" a clever name for a not so clever bike. Is 26 really so bad?
