I'm not sure "handy" man is an accurate description.

Bikes: highly modified specialized crossroads and GT hybrid (really a [formerly] 12-speed bmx cruiser, made before 'hybrid' took on its current meaning), as yet unmodified redline 925, couple of other projects

Well would *you* want to steal that bike? I don't think anyone else would, either.

You have no idea... Once you have a welder, every job suddenly can be accomplished by welding. Bolts are so much work compared to <zzzzaaaaappppppppppppp> done.

Yeah, what's up with Eastern block handymen? I never noticed it until last year when I had them fix my shower, three Russians(I asked) showed up. They look shady as hell, one of them had prison tattoos. But they're cool dudes, the older guy ended up drinking beer with me while bossing the other two younger guys.

Why can't you install a headset backwards. Is there a safety issue. It seems like you might be able to sit more upright, if that is what you wanted.
