A.T.M. Tie dye and Agave cages

Got these recently for the Chebacco which I rattle canned with Rust-oleum flip flop paint. Will need some wet sanding to clear up a run on the side of the head tube but over all came out ok. Still thinking about decals before I hit it with the spray max. Wont hit the road anytime soon as I dislocated my shoulder for the third time skateboarding with my daughter last month.

Just got the Grandis back from drive side dropout replacement. Had the whole build ready to go. Went to install this crankset... cups are English! Spindle is Italian length, so never thought to check the cups. Thankfully found an Italian Isis replacement (got lucky). Should have it towards the end of the week.

Not my purchase, but my girlfriend recently asked for some help building a bike. We found this blank Columbus branded frame with Campagnolo bb and headset for around $250. It's not really shown but we found an old nos campy brake set for pennies. The frames not super high end or anything but it's fun and for the price we can afford to shell out a little extra on the drive train and whatnot.

Vornado 293 3 speed stationary fan. It's cool in the (mostly) unheated basement, but those Tacx rollers make me sweat.

130 USD on amazon. Bought used for 88 USD.

Get a smart outlet so you can start and stop the fan without gettin up.

Picked up another Allez Sprint yesterday. These bikes are one of my favorite production bikes and I think this is the 5th time I’ve owned own.

I keep thinking about one of these. Aluminum Allez Sprint, rim brakes, white/blue. That's a funky seat tube, though. Why do manufacturers do that? Surely the seat tube angle isn't so shallow that it requires a cutout of the tube. And I can see it limiting the tires you could use with such tight clearance. And a proprietary seat post? What's up with that?

It can’t be beat for the price. The looks are subjective but a proprietary seatpost isn’t beyond the norm these days. The rim version will fit a 28c without fuss which is plenty for me.
