TimeOut

Any cyclists in the house?

 

I don’t mean electric nor gasoline-powered, I mean the person-powered, pedal versions. I had a chance today to go back and visit my buddy JB who is a hard rider AND even better painter of bicycles.


Joe and I worked together in a Schwinn bike shop back in uh, um, hmm, let’s just say the “not-so-recent past (late Nineteen Seventies). Owner Bill Holland went on to become a great frame builder.

Like many great craftsmen, Joe has a backlog of work awaiting!









He showed me some details on his new Rivendell commute-to-work bike (flat pedals, upright bars, low gears). Nicely detailed lugs, tubes, even the pump (lower tube shown here)




Bikes he painted for me:

Mrs C's Raleigh Professional



Fenimore Tandem








A recent Richard Sachs frame



I wonder what he could do with a watch case????
