We're getting the old shop gang back together for the Stop Swap & Save - Bicycle Swap - Feb. 18th at the Carroll County Fairgrounds next Sunday? This is the 27th year of what has become the best bike swap meet on the east coast (and beyond). I've been a vendor there since the beginning, and the pic is from one of the very early events, long before there was the giant indoor space that houses the event now. I'll be there again this year, with my old shop crew and lots of cool and tempting stuff. Don't miss it!

One of the projects that was finished up this past summer, this Masi GC frame was in rough shape when it was taken in. Already a repaint and needing some frame alignment, it was the perfect project for a retro-modern build, but the owner wanted it to have a very classic look and feel. The frame went out to Jack at Franklin Frames to remove the stay bridges, respace the rear to 130mm, realign everything, replace the bridges and give it custom paint with minimal graphics. During that time, the owner painstakingly collected the best all alloy Record 9 speed components he could find, and sourced a very contemporary but classic looking wheelset with Miche Syntesi hubs, H Plus Son rims and Grand Bios 30mm tires. Soma stem, bar and seat post provided a classic look with modern ergonomics and adjustability. MKS Royal Nuovo pedals with clips and straps added to the classic look. The saddle was just a placeholder until the customer decided exactly what saddle he wanted.
This was a great, fun project that both my customer and I were really happy with, and it's a perfect compliment to his period-correct '74 Masi GC project that was also done in my shop.

An old friend that I hadn't seen in a very long time stopped by for a visit yesterday. He's not a "bike guy" but he did really like the shop. I rarely have a picture of me in it.

By now, most people know that I closed my shop Velo Classique at the end of last year. It's now being reborn, although in a very scaled down fashion, as Atelier Velo Classique (that's Classic Bike Workshop in French). It's still a work in progress, but coming together nicely. The veloclassique@gmail address is still active, and the best way to contact me if you'd like to make an appointment, or just want to stay in touch. There is a new webpage in the works too, and there will be postings of things for sale both here and there as all that gets organized.

I want to thank all those that supported Velo Classique while in our two different locations in Purcellville for 14 years. I do miss the shop, but I'm looking forward to what lies ahead too. I have a lot of new ideas, so stay tuned.
