What have I been doing all summer?

I have received several emails questioning why I have done so little posting this summer. The answer is that I have sold most of my inventory that is available for immediate pick up so customers have been picking out bikes for me to restore from inventory and the are sold before restoration. I have also done several restorations of customer owned bikes. It has been pointed out to me that allot of folks enjoy seeing my work weather they are in the market for a bike or not. So in response I will be posting pics of all my restorations even if they are already sold.
