Hey now. Any of you Minneapolis types looking for a boss dwelling, with INDOOR BIKE PARKING for 20 bikes? 3 br/2ba, $1250 + utilities. It's close to downtown, uptown, singletrack, doubletrack, and ready to move in, and if you don't mind a few tools left behind in the basement, then shit-howdy, get in touch. More photos available on request.
Ok, survived Interbike intact. Only one minor "dirt rash" incident on ye olde elbow. Had a positively wonderful time with the usual cast of castoways, including a Gilligan's Island ride in the desert with 8 people all on Santa Cruz bikes. It was a 3-hour tour of harsh proportions when "we" (and by 'we' I mean Geno) took an alternate trail into hike-a-bike territory. With maybe 1/2 a h2o bottle between us, there was a mutiny of sorts when one of the riders hit entered Bonksville City Limits and Geno & Lance decided to hike out via a golf course oasis. Blick, Cheever, Matt from Shimano, & I decided to stay the course and continued the hike until just one more ridge led to another vertical push. Blick had soldiered on, Matt soon followed. Cheever & I decided enough was enough and backtrack/bushwacked down valley, bumping into Lance who had eschewed the golf course route. Soon, we found ourselves on a familiar ribbon of kitty litter single...
People of Earth:It's been almost 5 months since CRC Coffee Bar went black, but now I'm here to let you know that CRC is back. No, not another café, but back to our roots of radical bike journalism, grindcorps gravel action, back-alley crunk-cross scurvy run-ups, and singletrack hijinx. Special recognition, thanks, high-fives, etc. to the sanguine crüe at Space2Burn New Media.We're at Interbike all week so look for random photos of b-list bike world "celebrities," (i.e. Cheever.)Let's go!
UPDATE: The Speedy Devil has been recovered. Big high 5's to Roger/Kitsune Cycles. Keep an eye out for the XOXO still. One of a kind, & should be easy to spot.From Ben @ Handsome: STOLEN HANDSOMES!!!!! Last night the Handsome office was broken into. 2 bikes were stolen. A new 2012 XOXO and my personal SPEEDY Devil. The XOXO is easy to spot as NO ONE else in the world has one. It has a NuVinci rear hub, a ton of Velo Orange parts and a one of a kind custom made Handsome quill stem with an H engraved into the faceplate. The Speedy is my (Ben) personal bike. It is the first proto-type we made, and I am absolutely crushed that it is gone. Has a Thomson seatpost and stem, Paul Components brakes, levers and cranks, Civia bar, and Fyxation grips and seat. WE WANT THESE BACK AND ARE PLACING A BOUNTY ON THE HEADS OF THE FUCKERS WHO TOOK THEM. YOU GET US OUR BIKES BACK AND WE WILL GIVE YOU A CUSTOM HANDSOME COMPLETE OF YOUR CHOICE.
