so, the reality is that I really like to build bikes, but I really have no space for more than 2 at a time, so I need to sell them as I build them (believe me, its not like my wife is putting a gun to my head or anything….isnt that right sweetie???)

…I created a website and a shadow company "718 Cyclery" to try and do this.

http://www.718c.com

Its kind of a shot in the dark, but I am having fun with it.

look, i’m all for a CAMPAIGN that is targeted to keep cyclists safe, and which also highlights our preferred numerology. but let’s be realistic. when was the last time you saw room in a major urban center to cut a cyclist 3 feet of space. i regularly squeeze through needles that my handlebars can barely clear. 3 feet? right. maybe on the backroads.

madness. THIS hub sports a massive center and flanges, adding lateral rigidity and vertical compliance. or something.

2008 11 20 1339 Nature Can Build a Better WrongBike

Seen on my commute yesterday.
Please note, this is the unholy marriage of one of those uni-form seat-suspension bikes with… a bike rack. Pretty great, in all it’s wrongness…

Oh Team Lope Senior Mechanic… theories on this mystery hub? I was facing the wrong side so i couldn’t get more intel. I thought maybe a powermeter hub, since this is Mill Valley and everything.
