Frequently Asked Questions

1. "Huh?" I have no answer for this question.
2. "Will there still be baikus on your blog?" Only time will tell.
3. "Do you have any cheap bikes?" The Walmart bikes are at Walmart.
4. "Why are you doing this?" I have lost my mind and my heart. Fe700c may allow me to find both.
   

Metamorphosis

When a caterpillar hides inside its cocoon, it emerges as a butterfly. No, I'm not changing into a butterfly, but change is good. I'm changing my business, its name, my blog, and my clientele. I will no longer be selling cheap used bicycles. A good pair of shoes costs more than $100. Bicycles have more rubber than a pair of shoes and a lot of moving parts. My work has been undervalued and under appreciated for too long. Soon, I will be selling only bicycles with steel frames and 700c wheels, no aluminum bikes, and no 26 inch wheeled mountain bikes. Will I still repair them? Sure. Metamorphosis. Stay tuned.

Louden Wainright III

I'll always be a want-to-be. Last night Patty, Tim S., and I went to see Louden Wainright and Hot Tuna in SLC. When you get close to real musicians, they put you in a trance. They make it look effortless. My review: Louden had somthing to say. Hot Tuna had somthing to play. Here is a song we heard last night.

Like A Flashback

This picture reminds me of the old days, selling used bikes in the front yard. Things have sure changed. This picture was taken in Missoula, Montana.

Jinxed?

Four years ago we went to Antelope Island. Patty says it was on my birthday. I hopped out of the car, jumped on my bike, and started to pedal across the 7 mile causeway. I pulled off onto the shoulder to make a quick adjustment and picked up several hundred goat heads in each tire. Great ride.


Today was going to be different. I came prepared. Tubeless. We jumped on the bikes, rolled down the hill, and my back tire was flat. Where did that big sidewall gash come from? I've never had a sidewall gash in my life!

I will never take a bike to Antelope Island again. Really.

The place is pretty. The bugs ate us alive.

I'm Back

Rentolo became Rentover, Reno to East Wendover. OK, I bailed. It started to rain. My rear wheel was suspect (I had to replace all the drive side nipples. Try that as a roadside repair. Never tour with alloy nipples). Patty came and got me. I'm dry. I'm safe. I'll get a full report blogged later. For now, here is the nutshell: Reno, Dayton, Fallon, Eureka, Ely, East Wendover.
