First and foremost is the framebuilding thing — I’ve got my class again this weekend, and this time I promise to remember my camera. I should have the front triangle of the 29′er completed and, hopefully, some serious progress completed on the commuter frame. I have the paint scheme figured out for the 29′er, and [...]
Something wicked this way comes. Yes, it’s 100 miles over gravel. It’s still four months away and it’s weighing on my mind I’ve been doing my research and trying to figure out what setup I’m going to use to ride this sucker. The way I am leaning now is that I’ll be riding the Salsa [...]

Unlike last year’s festivities which, hereinafter, shall be referred to as the “Year of Blowing Chunks”… The good news is, it’s still early in the [...]
