geek; in the house.

good ride in today, finally. fantastic, simply fantastic.

build details

  • geekhouse frame - custom
  • enve fork
  • microshift shifters

  • ultegra crankset
  • blackburn Ti cages
  • h+son wheels - handbuilt

bike performs perfectly, everything i expected and more. microshift gear is adequate, though lever throw is comically long. long term results TBD. 

overall, very happy.

was a beautiful day, ideal weather really:

some gravel roads thrown in, for fun:



through some abandoned complex. lots of old, deserted, forgotten buildings. anyone know what this place is?? i dont...






and into the high-rent district. some strictly beautiful homes:



and roads for another day, and another bike...


construction, which should be a new summer boating spot:
