We recently had the joy building this for-stock mountain bike. It is an Independent Fabrication Steel Deluxe 29er. The frame is dressed in Sram formal ware ranging from XX to XO with Chris King accessories pulling the outfit together. Stop by The Bicycle Escape and check it out!

Paramount Clean Up

This was one of my favorite restorations. The bike is owned by my pediatrician. He purchased it from his family's bike shop a few decades ago. Well after the ole' spit shine, repaint (Keith Anderson), and a recreated shop sticker (thanks Danielle) the bike is tip top.

Happy Halloween

Thanks to Mic for the great picture!

Oregon Manifest

The Oregon Manifest presents bicycle frame builders with the challenge of designing the best utility bicycle. These designs range from large cargo bikes that carry heavy loads to lighter bikes suited for the challenges of urban commuting.

Our frame-building friend, Renold Yip, of YiPsan Bicycles, has submitted this offering (above). Some of you may recognize it as a sister bike to Danielle's award-winning Sunflower bike. As always Renold's bike is an impressive machine. Some highlights on this one include the integrated cable lock and the custom chain guard.

Good luck Renold!

Smash

2 1/2 months before we bid this fine shopping center adieu some little punk decides to smash in our window.   Thanks to some kind street sweepers the guy was scared off very quickly and left the scene before he/she stole anything (that I can tell anyway). The police were fast to respond and great to deal with. At the end of the day we were left with a mess and sleepless night. It could be worse.
