El Halcón

August 17th, 2009

I think I might’ve started about a dozen other blog posts with this but I have to say it again—Things are crazy here at the shop right now. Chris and I were both away from the shop earlier this month for family reasons, I recently got engaged to my amazing girlfriend Hilary, and on top of all that, I’m moving at the end of the month. Phew! Even with all that excitement, I’m slowly settling back into the routine that I missed so much. The bike that helped me get back into the swing of things was this single speed 700c commuter for David Way. It’s a lugged 68.5cm metallic brown bike with metallic brown custom racks and red details. Dave is a tall, utilitarian fellow and a nice guy to boot. Stop him and say hi if you see him rolling around on this beauty in Boston. If you’re lucky, maybe he’ll tell you the story of El Halcón.

    Brian, See if you can get Dave to send you some photos once he has completed the build.

    Neat, I’ve seen this bicycle around in Cambridge Mass.
    It is HUGE and looks even nicer in person than in the photos.
    Beautiful work!
