Random Again.

Random stuff once again:

BellaDonna frames- I like this.

Wiens- Lance is racing the Leadville again this year and most are saying his ture competition will be Dave Wiens. Here is a good interview feauturing Dave Wiens, the guy who has won it 7 times (including last year). See what he is doing in order to prepare for Mr. 7xTDF.

6 years in a rain cape- This piece on winter riding made for some strong nostalgia for down tube shifters and long winter rides while wearing wool (not that I am longing for it...just the idea seems better than dying of the heat in NYC summer). Parkin is turning into my must read site as BKW seems to be dormant.


Pictures-

Tommasini Tecno- this exact frame was the object of my lust in spring 1990. I can still remember reading the adverts for this frame in Colorado Cyclist in the library as a high school junior. It is funny what I remember....

Love for Dario- Hand painted pasta and basil leaves. Dario makes beautiful bikes. One day....
