And the food and riding - as advertised?

And the food and riding - as advertised?

We have reservations for the Spinster Sisters restaurant tonight, will report back. Haven't ridden yet but the rental bikes look fine (Shinola townies as advertised) and there is a nice bike repair station in the lounge. It's been pretty wet so I may take a spin tomorrow, otherwise the area is supremely walkable and there's a lot to do and see right nearby. Lots of good food and coffee, natch.

I used to dream of having an all-in-one bike-store/stereo-store/coffee-shop, but I can only tolerate one bankruptcy at a time...

The rest of it is so beautiful I didn't even notice that ugly seat post.

Where does this bike reside? Is this the same one I purchased from James in 2015? I sold it to someone across the hall sometime in 2017 (March, me thinks..).

This is a different frame for a customer in Switzerland - yours, I think, had the block logo but all else should be similar.

Home run after home run. What's the story on Don's go fast max bike?

Don wanted to ride quite fast behind a pace vehicle for his 60th year on this orb - and he wanted a 90-tooth chainring.

I think it all turned out rather well.

The Il Mostro blue seems to have really caught on.
Such a great color.
I like where this is going....
