Another Successful Refurbish

We completed a sky-blue Motobecane mixte frame for lovely Melanie here. She wanted her own saddle to be installed and we changed the bars and gave her some cork tape for grips. Her basket is available from Basil at $50. We install the baskets nicely on any compatible handlebar. This wicker basket is tough enough to withstand the elements and sun much better than the baskets that we have had available to us.
We have ordered some Torker U-District single-speed, fender-compatible bicycles from Redline. The Redline 925 has been selling nicely, but at $350 the U-District is easy on the wallet while being lighter, much safer and more fun to ride than the SE Draft. Also we got in the 3wrencho tool from Portland Design Works. This tool is a Single-speed rider's dream. A 15 millimeter with a great steel tire lever on the handle. They retail for $20. We have their bolt-on grips too. They are really classy. Hope you all are enjoying the rain.

  2. Hey that could be my old bike, I had that exact same bike, if my ss# is etched on the bottom tube I can tell you it's full history, up to me throwing it in the trash because I gave up on 10 speeds -ellen
