More Bikes for Friends

I thought I had toned down the amount of bike stuff I was doing when I moved to Pittsburgh, but it turns out I still turned out a fair amount of bikes for friends during my two years at school.



The 1948 Raleigh Sports Was Definitely Here to Stay For At Least Three More Years

The last time I wrote about this bike, I had to edit the post saying that the person who had me overhaul it had sold it back to me. 

Updates on the 2werkules

I made some minor-yet-major changes to the 2-speed Hercules shortly after building it, but it really hasn't changed much over the past two years.

Ol' Gilbert's Still Got It

The last time I made a specific post about Gilbert was over THREE AND A HALF years ago. I was thinking of selling, but decided against it. After riding that summer and realizing that this 1979 Raleigh Superbe was far too good of a bike to "retire," whatever that would have meant, I was going to write some more. This post was supposed to be published in the fall of 2016, at which point I had the bike for 1.5 years. By next month, I will have been riding this bike for 5. Since I last wrote about this bike, I have put at least 2,000 more miles on it, which is a conservative estimate even with the presence of other lighter, faster bikes. The title of this post has not changed.

1974 Peugeot UO-8 Delivery bike

This bike came to be the way it is for many reasons, and all of the planning or brainstorming in the world couldn't have made it work out as well as it did when everything finally came together. 


1970s Sears Sportflite Tandem Restomod

Here's another one of those things that I thought I'd never have the reason to build: A tandem!

Bike Stickers!

It's been a year and a half since I last posted because I got swamped in work, as we all do. I've just finished school and will now present something that I, for whatever reason, got involved with a few months back: Bike stickers!
