Smiley is back

I have been gone since around 2014/2015 as I have been investing in my bike fit business as well working my day job at Mitsubishi Electric, I just retired last month and devoting more time to getting folks in the DMV to enjoy their new bikes. I just wanted to drop back in and say HI and I will be parting with a few treasures that Kelly Bedford built for me because in my partial retirement I will be buying a class B+ RV and hitting the road with my wife. So time to sell my boat and some bikes. I am a VERY reliable seller so if you are 5 ft 10 to 6 ft contact me to see what I am looking to move including a Bike Friday Pakit. Thanks Smiley

Welcome back Smiley. Hard to believe it's been 4 to 5 years.

Congrats on the retirement and hitting the road with the Mrs.

As someone in that 5'10" to 6' range, will look forward to your postings.

"Bedford touring bike"--that piqued my interest!

And I think I am appropriately sized!!
