Just got a compliment from the twentysomething barista at Massimo's Mudspot this morning...she said she'd seen me riding down Olympic yesterday, and that I "looked really cool!"
I thanked her, saying that if I can't be cool, at least I can look cool...good for a chuckle.
For the record, I am gray-bearde ...

An update to the Cheap Bike Project, the story of "Trevor Wong," the PseudoBecane frame I just built up.

So I decided to dispense with a Big Ride--which in the context of the week felt like an obligation--and chose instead to noodle around the neighborhoods with no goal in mind except no ...

Another shakedown cruise for the Pseudobecane path-racer today, my usual 25-miler to the beach and back--specifically to the bridge at Playa del Rey, where I meet my friend Bill and we lounge about on the parapet talking about nothing under a brilliant sun and clear sky. The Bridge is closed to cars, so it's quiet: nothing to he ...

It began, as many such endeavors do these days, with a e-stroll through eBay, searching under "track frame." What I'm always looking for is a classic British-style path racer, basically a fast road fixie with clearance for big tires. They're hard to come by in my size, or at all, and my luck was no better the day this all start ...
