Checking Out Schlick Bikes
… and having some fun. Hard to keep up with reports on bike-related events we go to but here is a minor whack at that. Tour of America’s Dairyland races are behind us. I hit Shorewood and Downer Ave. Good times at both. We had a few bikes at a house party on Lake Dr. [...]
Tony’s Smitty CDS
We delivered Tony’s Smitty built with the Gates Carbon Drive System a couple of weeks ago and he is already sending in glowing comments! Tony’s Smitty was built with Paragon’s Sliding Drop to allow us to tension the belt and because Paragon makes the mount with a break at the stay necessary to install the [...]
A Rodent on the Marsupial
Took my Rat Ride for a cruise the other day and rode the Marsupial bridge. Seemed a good spot for a photo and a little mammal on mammal action. Yep, we do build some great bikes but I often like to ride bikes from other manufacturers simply because they are awesome. The Surly Rat Ride [...]

I’d been hearing rumors and plans for a while now but a recent Bicycle Retailer and Industry News (BRAIN) story confirmed that this is no rumor! Here is a bit of the low down. Ray’s was the first indoor mountain bike [...]
Greg’s SuperFast
Had the SuperFast out the other day and decided to see how it worked on the local MTB trails along the Milwaukee River. I hit the section from just south of Capitol to south of North Ave. and the SuperFast worked well. Admittedly, this section of the River Trail is reasonably tame but the SuperFast [...]
