Torker and Redline


The Redline 925 and the Torker U-districts are here. I won't bore you with the specs that you can get from the links up there. Instead let me tell you a little about some of our customers' fun times they had with their bikes. Ronnie the bike messenger got one of these 925 jobbies right here. His job destroyed his fenders and they quickly discintigrated into a million pieces. The other day Ronnie was cab surfing his way up Ave of the Americas when he was sandwiched between two cabs who seemed to wanna merge together with him inbetween. At 25 mph he grabbed both brakes and back pushed a slow stop and to get outta the sandwich. The cabs crunched doors and he endoed his way to facing left where a nice gap had opened between the parked cars and cabbie. Ronnie stomped on the pedals around the screeching cabs as they stopped and squeezed by the left cabbie as he swerved back to close the gap and stop because of the accident. Ronnie came back and thanked us for recommending the rear brake with the fixed rear wheel because he could not skidd fast enough even with the aid of a powerfull front brake.
The shop has enjoyed a few re-arrangements. We gotta get the word out, business has slowed down and we are kinda hoping people will tell friends so we can pick up the slack and eat a little.
