Winter Bicycles

Hoop Dreams: Enve, Phil Wood, CX-Ray, White Industries, Schwalbe One tubulars



These were fun to build up- looking forward to getting the bike assembled!

Shut up, Legz!

I just flew in from Filletsville, and boy are my arms tired...

Rothrock, a new local roaster, has their espresso roast rolling. It was a good way to start the week!

New tool day!



Thanks, Jason- looking forward to using it.

Meeting new people pursuing their passions keeps this industry fun. Thanks, Shanna!

..and they asked what I would do with an art degree...

I've started assembling a very cool customer bike I plan on displaying at Bespoked.

Here is a little teaser- a race tote made by RuthWorks SF with a compliment of Rene Herse ring choices embellished by Drillium Revival.



If you are near Bristol April 15-17, come check it out (PS- that green rando on their landing page is one of mine, too!).

[Eric Estlund]

Many happy miles! Thank you, and enjoy!

Andy, what are you planning to do with this beast ?

More of a description and a full photo set can be found in my site's Brise Rosé gallery.

Ride it until my legs fall off.

Ride it until my legs fall off.

We will discuss this in the Reno to Mendocino thread ;)

Eric's photos are much better than mine, but here are a few of the Brise Rose, day 1. Winter has revisited us for my new baby's first day out, which seems appropriate.

Just unloaded. With such a classy bike, I might have to rethink my commitment to hi-viz. Clashes a bit.

Inaugural commute, 14 lbs in the front bag, nothing on my back, halleluja!

I hope this remains a significant part of the natural habitat.

Finally, at rest in corporate office park. Thanks to my employer, I have a really nice covered, very secure lock up area.

I'll wait a while to post a real ride report as I am currently suffering from a severe case of new-bikeitis which is clouding my judgment. One thing that is obvious right away, however, is that the ride quality is out of this world.

Ah OK, this is just a commuter

[Eric Estlund]

In the trade I like to refer to that as "every day adventure". This thing is a serious prommuter.
