Steel Steeds





Trusty Steeds...
-Onion panniers...for those endurance onion rides 
-the story of 'Major' Taylor is worth reading. It seems many champion cyclists have tragic stories... this one full of adversity! You can get replica Major Taylor-style handlebars from Soma. Yes please!
-yikes! dig the no-reach head stem and nice drop-'tache bars...but 'she' is menacing! Marketing is funny- bicycle commerce has a significant history with broad implications...
-My hard-rubbish ffffound Malvern Star 'Two Star' is coming along... just need to choose a colour-scheme. I cant get past black enamel with brass details... but? Any ideas? I know you wont comment all you lurkers! 
(pic credits coming...)

    hmmm, exciting news. Saw a fantastic gloss cream finish the other day. Dark brown or black leather seat and handles. Beautiful!
