A calliper brake in the Kona Project 2s easily reached the rim for front-brakeage. The back wasn’t so simple. The rear seatstay bridge wasn’t drilled […]

The Boston plays on the Ivy League image of the city; The […]

Let Me Count The Ways I Hurt Thee
Hurty Bike
Well, you can’t go 24 hour racing on a singlespeed after a six week layoff and expect it not to hurt can you?
