Once in a blue moon

Like today, every 6 months or so I bike up Red Bud and Stratford. Just a little bi-annual reminder to myself that I don't like riding up Red Bud and Stratford.

The same can be said about Frankenbike. Every 6 months or so I set up at this monthly bike swap event. I don't sell much, and I usually wind up dehydrated. Yesterday's event was no different - just your typical display of Fixsters (my concatenation of fixie hipsters), bad tattoos, and bargain hunters. The heat was brutal, and I lasted less than 2 hours.


Here's my companion for most of that time - Berkeley. Poor dog was panting so hard, I gave up some of my shade to him while his owner dealt used parts in the sun.


I did, however, sell a Sugino track crankset. $45 for 2 hours work (yes, he talked me down from $50). Never again.
