Lemolo+Rapha=Awesome
August 25, 2009 at 10:51 am | In Uncategorized | 2 CommentsTags: continental, lemolo, rapha, tool wrap
My friends at Rapha presented me with the opportunity to collaborate with them on a little project. This isn’t the first time I’ve had the pleasure of working with them. I feel very fortunate to have gotten to know this tight-knit group on a personal level and work with them on a professional level.They are really great cyclists and fantastic people.
On to the good stuff…
Lemolo-made Rapha Tool Wraps. I made about thirty of these little babies for their Continental Team this summer. And, judging from the pictures, it looks like they all got some use. A Pretty basic, light, tool wrap that that is carried under the saddle and holds just the essentials for quick fixes and flats.

Comming Soon: More Bags!
August 20, 2009 at 9:16 am | In Backpacks, Lemolo Bags | Leave a CommentHello all. I have good news! I’ve recently acquired a little help around the shop here, so you should start expecting to see some custom-stock Portland Backpacks rolling out soon. The first should start popping up on the For Sale Page around mid-September. That’s early enough to still buy things for yourself before you have to spend all your money on everyone else during Christmas time right? If it’s not, well, get one for your loved one for Christmas, think of a good hiding spot though, cause 3 months is a long time to keep that under wraps. September is not a firm date by any means, but it does sound about right. Stay tuned for further updates, etc.
Until then, stay busy reading these blogs… Embrocation, ANT, IF, VeloOrange…. and for the non-bike related see BoingBoing.net.

It’s time we all laugh a little. At ourselves mostly… ok at other people to, come on do it, you’ll feel better. I would like to note that this was filmed here in Portland. Yep, we take bikes very seriously around here and we’ve got a sense of humor to boot!
Note: You might like Fix Push, although it outlives my attention span it is preeeeeeetty funny for the first few minutes. In my opinion the Fix Push 2 Trailer provides just enough laugh at just the right length.

Uccello Racks
July 18, 2009 at 12:55 pm | In bicycle, handbuilt, porteur, portland | Leave a CommentTags: bicycle, bike, custom, handbuilt, hufnagel cycles, sean bob, uccello racks
My friend Sean Bob has just started getting his custom rack business off the ground here in Portland. I am really excited about this because, as I’ve found with most things, getting started is one of the hardest parts. He has recently launched his blog which I hope will soon start filling up with lots of posts about awesome racks of all shapes and sizes. Sean Bob is working out of the Hufnagel shop alongside my good friend Jordan so, not surprisingly, I expect to see even more great things rolling out of that building in the not-so-distant future.
So, if your in the market for a new rack, or you’re just curious to see even more of what Portland can offer you and your bicycle be sure to check him out!

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 | 4 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,
-Eli
