Subject: [CR] What I Ride


Here is what I own and, for the most part, ride. I wrote up a history of each bike recently, as all my bikes were photographed for the Velo Cult online museum. Once that goes live, I'll pass along the link here so you can see Anthony Bareno's amazing photos, along with my write-ups about each bike. I love my bikes!
