And despite the recent surge of newly opened shops, most city riders can vouch for Sylvester‘s originator status. I’m glad to say that I had my bike built there 2 years ago, by one of the nicest fella in town. I passed by this week to check out Maura‘s next ride…just gonna put it out there and say that I am extremely jealous; cinelli gazetta…vintage san marco saddle…

Check out some of my favorite of his creations: here, here, here & here.

While we don’t have any details of the expected collaborative bicycle, Scott sent me some photos of their trip down to the 30th state of the constitution. Knowing the dedication and vision that defines LH, the bicycle should come proper. More pics and info are available on their flickr page

I’ve heard scary stories of this rim. Sylvestre reassured me, apparently they’re less flimsey than the first ones. I heard they’re fast. Next step: threading the fork.
