Blast from the past.

Whoa! Has it been that long? A pal forwarded this link to me. Collegiate cycling rules almost as much as cross rules. A bit of trivia. The blue and white bike shown in the article was one of the first two bikes I actaully painted. The other was painted the same, but built for my future (and current) wife.

I will be doing a reorder in about 3 weeks. Just drop me an email at bikes…

These pearls are just so vibrant, and they really come to life in the sun. Just awesome. Mike put together a really nice kit for this bike. Mostly Centaur with the Chorus upgrade at the Ergopower. Sweet wheels courtesy of ergott. The…
