A good day. I met Megg at the ferry dock. She brought us 2 bikes - a RANS Stratus that needs a seat, and a Bacchetta Cafe that needs a new rider! I've been out on the Cafe already. On the coming soon list, to the used bike showroom - Barcroft Dakota! Longbikes Slipstream (with S&S couplers) Cycle Genius Raven (dual 700c bike). |

Sunday was a good day! coming soon to the show room (after I get to play with them) - RANS Stratus, Longbikes Slipstream, and Barcroft Virginia!!!!! The Stratus I have had before, great bike! I look forward to meeting the other two, Barcroft has long been on my wanna ride list, and I have always heard good things about the Slipstream. I hear this one has S&S couplers on it too, which I've never met in person. A.D.'s used bike lot is in full swing! |

Darn that real world - a job intruding on all this fun. Just put the first ever MACH 3, a dual 26" wheel Recycled Recumbent, on sale in the show room. The first of many to come, I think. Also a RANS Wave used bike in the showroom tonight. I should see a Lightning Phantom on Saturday this week. Last and not least, there is a new, very sharp Mach 2 in the show room, built out with (for me) very high end components. |

Scrambling - I've been away almost 2 weeks. Distracted, you might say. Anyway, back today, trying to dig out. Rick, Michell, Mike, Tony, it's coming. Don, thanks for waiting. Bill, I'll start it soon. |

Some friends on BROL encouraged me to revisit the idea of a 26x26 form for the Recycled Recumbent. We've been doing just that, and discussing it here - BentRider thread . Just tonight, I took my first around the block ride on a very new bike - before adding components it looked like this -  . "Real" pictures tomorrow, and I hope for an extended test ride Thursday. But I have to say, tonight, I am impressed with this bike. You have to be very careful and selective to get the right donor bikes, the right fork, but riding it tonight, sweet Marie! What a nice bike! This just might become the Mach 3. More when I know! |

Happy Valentine's Day! A day early, but who knows if I will open this page tomorrow. Down to three for-sale bikes as of today! I'll be adding a new red bike and a new blue bike as soon as I get them assembled. I did add the P-38 for sale in the showroom today. And there is an experimental 26x26 bike taking shape - I am not find of the dual 26 format, but lots of people are. We will see. |

Dude! It's cold! It's been hard to work in the toy shoppe from last Monday to now - an hour at a time. Today I was at the Chicago Bike Swap, always a fun crowd, and I found a new source for twist grip shifters. 3x7's, anyway. Nice pieces. Need to find a few lonely used recumbents to love and find homes for! |

Just when the garage is too crowded, just when there are too many bikes and no room for more.... Things move! Two of my bikes sold this week, and two more have found new homes from the 'used' selection! Yay, my faith is restored, and we CAN continue to build bikes! Two new bikes are in the showroom tonight. One is special for shorter riders. |

Happy New Year! And happy biking! I think I'll get in a last ride of the year tomorrow. Not so sure about New Year's day. Ah well. There ARE snow tires on the EZ-Tad trike for now. I am adding the Rotator Pursuit back to the showroom, I think Jerry prefers the Tomahawk. Whichever sells first, Jerry will take the other one! |
