vélo de route: August 2007
http://veloderoute.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 31, 2007. For my birthday my wife bought me a beautiful NOS set of Pélissier hubs. And some nicely-designed, brand new in-house fenders. I'm waiting for them to arrive so I can measure them and order my spokes. Due to the almost outrageous price of spokes these days I will not be buying double-butted spokes from DT Swiss or Wheelsmith. Of course stainless is the only real choice so I will be buying Union. Check out the Wikipedia article. Sunday, August 26, 2007. And the sweet mixte. Rims I...

vélo de route: May 2008
http://veloderoute.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 23, 2008. Well it turned out the left arm was. Toast on my sweet old Nervar Star cranks. I am still looking for another set to replace them. Next time I am used serious Lock-Tite on those bolt threads. In the meantime I need to ride something to work. So I headed down to the Recyclery. The left arm is already on the bike and the drive side will go on today. Too bad their first ride will be in the rain! Saturday, May 17, 2008. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

vélo de route: June 2008
http://veloderoute.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 28, 2008. I'm building up my Raleigh Professional frame and have been acquiring NOS parts to keep things as nice as possible. Here are some cool parts I've scored on eBay and locally lately. They include:. Gipiemme bottom bracket spindle. SunTour Superbe brake levers. More cool stuff is on the way, including some nice Olimpic quill road pedals in French thread to fit the TA Pro 5 Vis cranks I acquired on eBay France. Photos on arrival. Friday, June 27, 2008. On a sadder note, I sold the Ra...

Wednesday, February 18, 2009. In all I love them. They look great, and at the price you can't beat them. June 26, 2009 at 9:27 AM. I have now been riding on these pedals for a year and they are just awesome. Gone are my bearing problems and they just keep spinning smoothly. I am up to two sets on different bikes now.

vélo de route: October 2007
http://veloderoute.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 30, 2007. I just got back from a trip to San Francisco this weekend, which included a stop at Rivendell. Home of some of the very nicest lugged steel bikes on the planet. I went hoping to get a chance to ride an Atlantis. Which looks like it could be my next bike (down the road). The guys at the shop were super helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. Marc Brandt, the nephew of Jobst. Brandt (of The Bicycle Wheel. They set up for me, I discovered that it was so comfortable that I wanted to ...

vélo de route: November 2007
http://veloderoute.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 17, 2007. Oregon Handmade Bicycle Show Photos. There were lots of builders present, including Strawberry, Ahearne, Vendetta, Pereira, Sweetpea, Bike Friday, Lyon, Stewie, Davidson (Washington), and probably some others I missed. Really the next nicest bikes that were fully lugged were the Strawberry bicycles but sadly my photos are not at all good or representative of the quality. Their stand was half in the shadows and the flash-shot photos look terrible. In the close-up you get a bet...
