Maybe we should wait until July 4th, but show off your metal US built bicycles!

Dammit, Justin; now I've got a mouthful of latte all over my monitor and keyboard. That purple is the cat's meow.

Nice thing about a California MASI is that it can be USA or Italian.

I am definitely going to ride the mountain bike in this year's edge-of-the-continent Neptune Av. 4th of July parade:

Last year I committed a faux pas by riding the Peugeot. Sacre bleu! You can see me early on in the first video clip, wearing my screaming yellow cycling jacket, Giro Xen helmet w/ mirror, and with the classic red cylindrical Bellwether handlebar bag.

Conceived in Seattle, born in Durango, Colorado, this Erickson/Ericksen collaboration is now living abroad in its adopted homeland under the butts of two Canucks.

Nothing I haven't posted before, but what the heck.
1967 Paramount, pride of the Cage, gloriouosly period incorrect.
1978 Eisentraut. Oakland's finest, from the Godfather.
1993 Fuso, Russ Denny built, made to kick criterium booty (meaning it's even more wasted on me than most of my bikes).

My hands-down favorite. A 2007 Waterford RS-22 with Reynolds 953 polished stainless steel frame. Brazed by Dave Wages, 2X ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles on AIDS/LifeCycle Charity Ride of 545 miles, and my "go to" bike for 95% of my rides. A truly amazing bike.
On the other hand, I'm not sure there is a right way to take that . . . .

1975 Wizard. It's farther along now and should be a rider this Fall. Working on a wheelset.
1989 Landshark Dirtshark
2007 Turner 5 Spot. Not classic or vintage, but huge fun and now sadly out of service due to broken unobtainium frame parts.
1974 Schwinn Paramount with a CycleArt repaint. My regular rider right now for fun rides. Sonoma County redwoods next week.
1975 Eisentraut Limited. A great ride but a touch small.
1975 Eisentraut Limited. A great ride and just the right size. Currently rideable, but awaiting some TLC.
1991 Landshark.
Not pictured. My new 1991 Ed Litton frame. A Greenville Schwinn LeTour Luxe that will become a city bike. A Medici Pro Strada awaiting decisions. A retired Landshark frame.
