Too Many Choices?

Remember when you only had to decide which 10 speed you wanted? Then you had to decide if you wanted a mountain or road bike. At least with those, the choice is easier to make. Now I have to figure out if someone needs a road (drop bar or flat bar), mountain (hard tail, full suspension, single speed, 29'er, etc.) , hybrid, comfort (flat foot or regular), crusier, etc., etc, etc..
The funny thing is most people just want to ride along the river (on the bike path) for a couple of miles! It is amazing how many of them want a full suspension mountain bike. So it is up to me to guide the little bicycle urchins to what they need, not necessarily what they want. (ok the urchins part was a bit much)
Anyway, I am not sure why I am even posting this so I will leave now!

What the World Needs Now...

Well just what we need...a new blog! This one is about all things cycling. It should be used hand in hand with my running blog. For what, I am not sure, but try to use it for good not evil.

One thing you are going to get to see is the rebuild of my 1987 (I think that's when I bought it, it could be 1988) Specialized Rock Hopper Comp. The rims have grooves from the brake, the Manitou II (I put it on around 1990) urethane bumpers are shot etc., etc., etc. A picture is coming. I might be able to help anyone with an older bike wade through the process of trying to find old equipment with modern solutions. Ciao.
