It's going to be a beautiful weekend here in NJ.

I just finished the final touches on my Serotta rebuild and am hoping for a ride tomorrow morning before heading to the Philly Bike Expo!

It's amazing how much everyone's mood around here improved since Spring has shown us a hint of what's to come.

Sun absolutely makes such a difference. Was a grey winter here in Boston area. Got out on my 3 speed path racer today and need to replace a broken spoke on my full squish this weekend. It's the second one, so I think it's not good news. Sealant leakage past my rim tape.

I'm just home from work and eating potato chips and drinking mineral water. I just attached a couple new bags to my Emonda that were not made by Silca.

Sold three bikes at work today.

Don't sniff too much glue....just a hit.

Drinking a beer and perusing Pace line.

Didn't get as much rain as I thought her in VA. I do have a wheelset, tubulars, and a can of Mastik One that has been staring at me for a while. Maybe it's time.

I can't tell you how much I enjoy selling people their first decent bike. Don't even get me going on kids bikes.

I could sell kids bikes all day long.

Rebuilt my MTB rear shock yesterday after doing the fork last weekend. Now all my squishy bits are plush again!

Also, y’all have prompted me to take the Serotta out tomorrow for Serotta Sunday. it needs an “airing” bc my daughter does not ride much any longer.
