Pugsley updates: Our Pugsley project is still moving along swimmingly. We expect framesets to be ready mid/end of July. Endomorph 3.7" tires, full sized tubes, and offset drilled Large Marge rims should also be here near the end of July. We'll supply a special tool to build your wheels 17.5mm offset with each Pug frameset along with instructions on how to build them up. Availability dates on a couple items could spill into August, but for the most part, things are on schedule. On a side note, I pedalled my Pug through some sand dunes in northern Wisconsin last week…

MORE STUFF IN STOCK! I just inspected and OK'd 16 more singlespeed and track cogs. They should go into stock tomorrow. So we now have almost all the 30 different sizes of cogs in stock. Whatever is not in stock, will be so within the next few weeks. These cogs are looking very good, the tolerances are exact, the finish is nice, the machine work is very good, chain engagement is perfect, they spin onto a track hub or slide over a freehub body smoothly. Makes me happy all over. -----

We just got a bunch of hubs in stock today, probably everything that we've been out of stock on should be available now. Rear Nice Racks are also in stock for the first time. Black or silver. They look very nice, the small parts fit nice and tight. Seeing these today all built up for the first time made all that waiting worthwhile. We hope you feel the same. We'll have a bunch more technical specifications and close up photos of these racks on the website soon. Front Nice Racks should be available around the second week of July. -----

I've now had two very close calls with cars while riding my bike to work in the last two weeks. Each time was at a familiar intersection, where cars just roll through the stop sign and ignore my right of way. Each time I rolled through cautiously with fingers on my brake levers. Each time the driver seemed completely unaware of me because they failed to look. Each time I was within a few feet of the bumper because I was prepared to stop. Each time I had the right of way. This morning, the driver of the Notorious S.U.V.…

Need some color in your life? Fond of the purple horseshoe in Lucky Charms cereal? We thought we'd address these issues with a limited edition run of hubs, not horseshoes. This is our loving way of remembering back to the early 1990's when most bike parts came in a rainbow of fruit flavors. We did a very small one-time-only run of these hubs, so once they are gone, they are gone. We will not make any more and we haven't stashed any away for those of you that didn't get this message soon enough. Part numbers are: -HU0230 front and…
