    A Pulse Storm is brewing...

    very impressive, I also assume that boat paint is pretty robust (?) and will withstand some inevitable risk of damage if the bikes are ridden and hopefully shown off to admiring people outside the cafe etc. Its great to see such time and care taken to preserve what are classy...

    Folders! Foldable bicycles, minivelos and demontables

    this was dropped off for emergency repairs at my workshop at the weekend - Dahon Dove - not really suitable for people of European stature or weight but impressively light construction. It is however very compromised in terms of clearances and general practicality - I managed to...
