[bridgestonedude]

*Real name: Sam
*age: 29
*Where do you live: Bay Area / San Diego
*Occupation: Government Analyst
*Favorite bike: 1991 red Bridgestone RB-1 that I regret selling!
*My stable: 2013 All-City Thunderdome fixed gear, 1986 Bridgestone T700 commuter
*Fastest speed on road bike: 30+ mph?
*Miles on the bike last year : Was probably riding 5-10 miles everyday for general getting-around town
*Makeup and answer a question: What’s your relationship with bikes? I fell in love with riding and fixing up vintage bikes after living in Oakland/Berkeley without a car. I've played the Craigslist roulette game of moving through different bikes in search of the one bike to keep, but of course the search never ends! I think I'm now ready to move on from 70-80s Japanese steel bikes and my current fixed gear towards a more handmade/performance-oriented road bike. Have my eyes out for lightweight steel from builders like Davidson or Independent Fabrication.
*Biggest lie - I don't have a bike problem.
