The repair stand is still under development. We have added a few new features of late. First, the stand is now reversable using spacers. (Pic) The fork mount can now also hold your rear dropouts for headset and fork work. Also, the BB peg is movable to accomidate the reversable fork mount. Lastly, we added a wheel holder for which ever wheel is currently off the bike. All the photos can be found HERE.

Here is my new ride. Olmo steel track frame, FSA cranks, Velocity Deep-V rims laced up with Paul High-Flange hubs. Pretty sweet.

Just got back from a trip to see Rhea in Colorado. Simply awesome. I have never had such an up close look at the mountains. We camped out in Estes Park for most of the weekend and hiked all day Sunday to Chasm Lake (11,200 feet) which is below Long’s Peak. Wooo, great weekend.

Yesterday my dad and I decided to work on the bike repair stand we have been brainstorming since I saw the “euro” type stands in Belgium. Here are some pics of what we came up with.

The folding action was inspired by a ironing board. It’s probably a quarter of the weight of a Park Tool Stand and folds up smaller. Check out the rubber feet, MTB grips! Pretty sweet.

I’m back! It’s good to be home, I got over the jet lag pretty quick and went for a ride with good ol’ dad today. Right now I am just trying to get everything organized and ready to go, so when I find a job it will be an easy move and etc. I hope to ride with everyone soon, I will be in STL
Wednesday and I’m doing the SLU cycling group ride that evening. You should come out!
