My two Cents

Well, I guess it is beeter to be last to post than to never start...so here goes (bare with me, I'm a little new to sharing).

Hi Everyone in Cyberspace, I'm Mike

I would like to share a little about myself. I am a bike geek in every sense of the word. When I am not working at a bike shop, I am reading about cycling on the internet, or I am talking about cycling with co-workers and friends, and if that doesn't work out then I plan building bikes in my head. I even have a special Excel spreadsheet that I can use and save it to view later.

now that I have shed a little light on the true geek within, I decided to build the craziest bike I could this past fall. A quick trip to the garage netted me enough parts to build a Single Speed Cyclocross bike. I ordered a Surly Cross Check and added a collection of Campy Record parts, a vintage set of WTB dirt drops, and a most riduculous set of deep disk carbon wheels. To make a long story short I ended up with a bike where the frame cost as much as the brake set and the wheel cost twice as much as the rest of the bike.

Yesterday i took insane to a whole new level when I switched out the WTB 700 x 32 tires for a new set of Bonty 29 x 1.8 mountain tires. I created Frankenstein's monster truck! I am planning on riding circles around Soupie at Bavington this weekend (don't tell Soupie). I hope to have some picutes up soon, as soon as I figure out how the he double hockey sticks how to do it.

I'm out, later kids
