Okay, so to fill the time we finished all of the repairs and paper work and inventory.  Now Roger's looking into our snowy future and Scott is finishing Dorothe's Super Commuter:

And a new tandem for friends in Washington State:

 

  By the way, if you are wondering why a tandem would have three bottom brackets, check out http://www.davincitandems.com/ .  These are independent drive systems for tandems.  This is Scott's first one in his frame building.  As usual, he will be more than happy to tell you ALL about itThe bottom line is this is a GREAT time to bring in your bikes for the prep for the Spring that is coming--we promise.   

In fact, mention this blog, and we will take $10 off of our Tune-up Plus service package.
