My personal bike builder got spotlighted on TV last the other night.
That’s right, my personal bike builder. I mean, he’s not my valet. But still.
For me.
In that garage you see him wiggling his butt during the video clip.
If you want to see how an independent bike frame craftsman does it, watch the clip.

sometimes i can’t decide whether to hang orange on my wall or ride it.
okay, that’s not true–i always ride it. but i am thinking of hanging a picture of orange on my wall.

I love small frame builders. Viva Sabrosa!
I need to get in his queue.

How much does a Sabrosa frame weigh? Are they always steel?
September 28, 2011 at 11:06 am
larry, they weigh exactly enough, and never too much.
and yes, steel.

“I can build something that will support my weight.”
Did he mean that literally?

Orange is indeed a fine bike. Nice work, Jon!
Confession: I licked it once when you weren’t looking, was disappointed it didn’t taste like an orangecicle.
