Introducing: Utahdog
Wow, if you rolled several current and former MEBG members into one person-joint and smoked it in an 87 VW you’d end up with this blog. Some weird dad in Michigan who keeps clean mountain bikes and buys lots of 90’s XT pedals. He also has an unhealthy obsession with VW Sciroccos (no, Jacques) and 89 Civic hatchbacks (yes, me).

DX
The only office-boss I ever actually got along with used to race MTB. He preferred DX because “campy sucked and it was the only Deore group that actually looked like anything.”

Buy this and give me the DX pedals, they match my broom.

tombéd en panne
According to my very exaggeratory co-worker, the rumour goes as follows: The Ville de Montreal used to shell-out for each citizen to get their char’s suspension fixed once per hiver due having frappéd a gros nid-de-poule. Since this was obviously just another racket of the most (un)organized of crime around, this rule, made-up, official-or-otherwise, was shut down.

Please no low ball offers. If you ride track bikes, you’ll understand the time, money and emotion that went into putting this bike together.

Please stop trying to sell these for any amount of money. Don’t tell me about your “campy bike”
Old beat up bike parts are, for the most part, not worth shit. Excepting ‘real cranks’, quality vintage bearing assemblies and saddles/bars that fit you.

My Favorit Legend
There’s an old rumor going around Montreal. Its kind of an urban legend. It goes a bit like this. After the 76 Olympics the Czech team was so busted broke that they sold off many of their eastern bloc made Favorite road and track bikes to pay for the trip home.
Those bikes (of which there were many dozens) landed in Montreal bike shops and supposedly made their way into the hands of many...

The previous text was unfair.
Seven ads here on NYC Craigslist. This guy really needs to hawk his bike collection. At anywhere from 1k-$1500 they’re not exactly priced to sell, especially in what New Yorkers call “winter.” All sizes, 49-58. Keep one for when you get better

If you really wanna party with me
Never should have sold, fit me perfectly. The guy that bought this told me, ” I’ve been riding fixed gear so long I’ve developed a knee disorder”. Bragging about riding a poorly fitting bike with shitty technique is for couriers, and MA students.
