Life through the eyes of a bicycle mechanic...feel free to ask tech questions and I'll do my best to answer them.

You may remember one of my earlier posts featuring a Terry that had a 24” front wheel and a 27” in the rear…well, here’s another cool variation. This one also features a 24” up front but a 700c out back. The idea behind this one is aerodynamics as it was purpose built for triathlons…check out the sweet swim/ride/run graphic on the chain stay…awesome 80’s Miyata 512 complete with Shimano Light-action shifting and a Biopace Chain ring. Cheers.

Rad 1980’s lugged steel Specialized Sirrus…back when the Sirrus was a drop-bar road bike! Suntour Equipped and fresh as the day it left the showroom. Super cool.

Stole this from Wiki…pretty much what I’m hoping to achieve when I purchase my Crosscheck this spring…minus the Campy plus the Sram.

Colnago Prestige. Quite possibly my dream bike…SRAM Red, ZIPP 404 wheels. Italian goodness at it’s finest.
