Thats exactly why I love them. I mainly ride chip seal roads in the country, and they hold up great under my heavy butt.

New old stock bottle generator set. I'm a sucker for puns...

Unfortunately it looks like there's a busted piece of metal inside the front light (maybe the thing that makes the circuit?). Hoping it can be soldered.

Just got home.

They tried to deliver this beast today.

Niner Jet 9 carbon.

Had an aluminum, but I wanted the carbon.

Got a great deal.

We are doing a Fruita and Moab trip in May.

Grady, two of the greatest places I have ridden. Take extra tires with you, slickrock will chew your tires up in one day of riding. Also make sure you do porcupine ridge trail. I'm not sure if you've been there or not, but they drive you up and you ride down, very little peddling, back to town.

On Huskys, Bultacos and Montessas.

Been to Moab once on mtbs and once with my Elsinore in 1981.

Very good times out there. Especially for a 20 year old.

A nice pair of seasoned Deore XT pedals for a little project I am whipping up.

Thanks VR.

A pair of vintage Cannondale rear panniers - in YELLOW. Just like the set that I had back in the '70s. Unfortunately, I left them at my parents house when I got married and they sold them at their moving sale. Now to get the matching yellow 'Toot' seat bag...

Nothing but a payment for some car parts I sold. A little more cash for the Merckx refinish fund.
