Today I watched soccer at work (plants don't grow fast enough), watched more soccer at the gym, put a new seat on my janky SS MTB, then while testing it out saw this next to my place and stole the sqrls camera to shoot it.

Precisely. EighthInch Julians, Andels, Fyxation Rodeo Pursuit bars, Soma saddle, etc. He wanted something bombproof for everyday riding around Boston that he wouldn't have to worry about locking up occasionally.

Looks like it fits the bill. I thought the handlebars were RB-021's at first glance and was a bit confused on $70 handlebars with everything else being "cheaper" stuff. Do you know the overall cost of it? Seems like it'd be under $500.

Ha! Adding up all the parts at individual retail prices comes out to $922. As a complete bike, it sold for $785.

You should put up pictures of bikes you sell up on the wall in your shop. Or more easily, put up photos on your RETROGRESSION blog.

I know, dude...I'm so slack about the blog and stuff because I always have way too much else going on. We're seriously considering hiring someone just to do the blog and facebook page.
