My Follis - the frame, "suicide shifter" (front), stem, bars, brakes and brake levers are all original. Cranks, seatpost, hubs date from the 1970s, wheels from the 80s. My Uncle Sid gave me the bike when I was 13, in 1961.



I picked up the frame, which I thinks dates to about 1994, a few years ago (from the quirky Sound Cycles bike shop in mid-town, Los Angeles). I had some spare parts and I purchased more. I want a new, slammed stem, something in black, but I've been too lazy to work on that.



My Wabi fixie. It's probably less than three years old. I bought it to feel 25 again and when I ride it, I do!



My 2008 Specialized Roubaix Expert - carbon frame, Ultra components. With its tall head tube, it's my most comfortable bike, ever.
