Please consider attending this evening for the future of Pisgah and Bent Creek!!!

Just got news that the great Josie Ritchie provided me with another National BMX win in cruiser! I was a weak-willed, skinny-legged kid when I raced back in the '80s. Thanks to Josie for putting a tiny bit of ByStickel into BMX history.

Found myself in Salida Colorado, a couple of days ago. Met Don McClung,designer of one of custom's most copied styles. Custom frame building tip #22: If you want a builder's style, go to THAT builder for it. When you discourage originality, you harm the health of the industry.

Need your feedback. Does anybody think that a dropout should offer the I.S. disk brake mounting standard, these days? Would you avoid choosing a dropout because it couldn't accommodate I.S.? And those screw adjusters... if your dropout doesn't slip, do you really use them?

Would like to thank you Steve for your contribution to the hardtail 29er world. Took her out with fat tires in the dirt for the first time in probably a year and forgot just how much fun that bike is. And double thanks for the 31.6 seatpost, dropper post has become mandatory bike part. Thank you!!

Goldie looks comfortable out in the Rockies. I need to travel more. Who wants a smelly framebuilder on their couch?
