Erik uses his Lemolo Panniers to stock up on food. Check out these photos of his bags in-use and hauling a pretty serious load home from the grocery store (click on photo for larger picture)…
Click here to see Erik’s photoset dedicated to his new bags.
Thanks for the pictures Erik, enjoy your new bags!

WORKandPLAY
June 22, 2009 at 12:19 pm | In ahearne, bicycle | 2 CommentsAs most of you already know, I’ve been taking some time off from sewing lately. One of the major things keeping me out from behind the sewing machine (aside from my other jobs, life, etc.) is this hot little number…
After waiting approx. a year and a half I am now the proud owner of my very own custom bicycle! Hand built here in Portland, Oregon by Joseph @Ahearne Cycles. One and a half years may seem like a long time to wait, and it is, but considering his current wait time (holding steady at a 3 1/2 years) I feel pretty fortunate to have placed my order when I did. I assure you he is worth the wait. Joseph is a master at his craft and as you can see, does amazing work, down to every last detail.
Yes, it is an expensive venture buying a custom bicycle and I saved for a long time for mine. That being said, there is nothing like riding a custom bicycle. It is an absolute dream machine. Not to mention the satisfaction you get from supporting a local artisan craftsman, especially one like Joseph. I respect and admire him both as a builder and a friend. Worth the wait and every pretty penny!

P.S. I’ll update with more pictures soon I promise!
Summertime Fun!

Lemolo-made beer koozies… er… beer cozys? Whatever, check’em out!
I was thinking about making a few and putting them up for sale on the site here if there was some interest. I’ve actually been meaning to do that since… well, at least since last summer. Maybe I’ll finally get around to doing it this year…

Another stolen bike…
April 26, 2009 at 10:04 am | In portland | 2 CommentsTags: bianchi, bike, portland oregon, san jose, stolen
[**UPDATE** -- This bike was found by a friend at a local bike shop that specializes in used bikes/equip and subsequently returned to it's rightful owner!]
This time it was a San Jose. Please keep an eye out for Heather’s bike if you are in the Portland area. Originally taken from her in NE (Lloyd district) Portland. It is a light blue 2006 Bianchi San Jose. At the time of the theft it was set up with black Paul brakes, pink handlebar tape, pink Planet Bike fenders. This bike means a whole lot to her and she would really really love to get it back. I am offering a $200 no-questions-asked reward for the return of this bicycle. Serial #H7JR04863.
Thanks,

Kate originally purchased her Lemolo Backpack to tote her things around Portland, and now she’s using it to haul her stuff around the world as well! Not only is she using her bag to get all her clothes from one place to the next, but also this (very real looking) fake chicken they picked up at a local dollar store as well. The following pictures were are all taken from her travels in Zadar which is located in Croatia along the Adriatic sea.
Thanks for the pictures Kate, enjoy the rest of your travels!

stolen bike

My friend Nick just got his Surly 29er (Karate Monkey) stolen a couple days ago in SE Portland (28th/stark). Kind of a long shot, but I’m trying to help spread the word. It’s black, WTB wheels, Misfit Cycles hubs, Truvativ Stylo cranks and Avid disk brakes.
Please spread the word and keep on the look out for his bike if you live in Portland.
Thanks,
-Eli

Daniel Wakefield Pasley: Photographs
March 26th through April 26th, 2009.
Less about a particular subject or forced theme, Pasley’s saturated photographs emphasize the simple pleasure of looking, of capturing that scintillating moment when light, detail & lush color flash perfectly on the retna of one’s eye.
For more information, take a look at either our website or blog.

N.A.H.B.S. 2009
February 21, 2009 at 11:35 pm | In Lemolo Bags, nahbs | Leave a CommentTags: 2009, Lemolo Bags, nahbs, north american handmade bicycle show
The 5th Annual North American Handmade Bike Show is quickly approaching. Indiana will be hosting this year’s event February 27th – March 1st this year. Sadly, I am unable to attend the show. I will have bags there though! Keep your eyes peeled for some full-custom, one-off Lemolo baggage.
Both Ahearne and M.A.P. Bicycles will be proudly displaying Lemolo bags on at least one of their show bikes this year. I never imagined I would be represented by such outstanding builders at such a prominent show and feel very honored to have something that I made on display there.
I can’t say I’m not a little bit jealous of all who get to attend, enjoy yourselves! Take a few pictures so I can see what I’m missing.
