I'm in San Fransisco this week and I am blown away by the number of sweeeeet track bikes I have seen. Lots of IROs and Bianchi Pista Concepts, a few Bianchi Pistas, tons of conversions and the nicest of them all, a red Masi with that Suntour gold group, what a crazy crazy sick bike. I wanted to pick it up to see how light it was but I am sure that the owner was perched somewhere nearby, ready to drop down on the first person to mess with his bike. I couldn't believe it was locked up, to be honest, I would be way too nervous if that thing were out of eye-sight.
The scene here seems great, mostly because the motorists are very courteous and the roads are in great shape, so cycling seems very safe. There are some very very steep hills, of course, but that doesn't stop anyone from cycling, they just find alternate routes around the hills. The drivers are very good around the cyclists as well as around pedestrians, even stopping and waving me across the street when I was jaywalking. And yeah, jaywalking is frowned upon here, I found out quickly, because people actually obey the rules of the road; shocking, I know!
I think I will have to move here, the city is that awesome.

Did anyone hear from the guy on craigslist with the massive lot? I didn't hear back from him.
I don't want this to be an Igor fest, but I once saw him selling a little puppy with a electric cord for a leash. I think he was using it to pick up the hunnies walking by.

"he purchased it from Igor" ... wow, on a scale of 1 to bad idea that's off the charts.

Before I "knew" about Igor I went in there to look through some frames. He was like "What do you want the bike to be?" So I described the build, he cut me off and said "No, no! Not what the bike will be like, what will it represent?" Thanks for being my crackhead spirit guide, Igor. Thaaanks.
