 Urban Biking Handbook

Seems to be less about how to RIDE in an urban environment, and more about how to keep your bike alive. Sounds interesting. I love my Zinn bible, but the prospect of a book that addresses the kind of beat up hell your city bike endures, that’s something, isn’t it?

2tonegrandis Two Tone Grandis

This repaint on this Grandis reminds me of the paint scheme I was exploring for Carpetbagger before I went monochrome. Sometimes I really like the ‘dipped’ look, and sometimes not.

 Oregon Manifest Constructor Design Challenge

This collaborative design challenge features a number of bike and general design folks working on custom projects to be judged in about a month. Of the three, I have to go with the FUSE X SYCIP design. I’m a big fan of Sycip bikes. I’ve talked with those guys, admired the ice cream hauler down the street from me, and like their approach. And from a function and aesthetic perspective, I thought this was the best offering…
