http://www.bespokeandwheel.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Musings and reviews from an obsessive compulsive bicycle user. Friday, April 20, 2012. Thank you so much! You guys have been amazing! I get choked up just thinking about it. Right now I'm on a bus to Houston, and I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your support. Every donation, thank you. I also want to thank you for all the kind words and well wishes. I really didn't expect this whole thing to be such a blessing to Kristen and I, but it has been unimaginably inspiring! As I sat in bed ...

Musings and reviews from an obsessive compulsive bicycle user. Friday, November 9, 2012. In Praise Of The American Spirit! Corvettes, Audis, Knife Fights, and Why The American Revolutionary War Was No Contest. Well, I was fumbling around with the blog trying to put together a "Blog List" and came across something that puts the whole " cyclist stabbing. Between a cyclist and an Audi driver. On the other side of the pond. It's no wonder we won the American Revolutionary War. Or Corvettes, Aud.

Musings and reviews from an obsessive compulsive bicycle user. Saturday, December 8, 2012. Rapha Base Layer Discount Code! I received an email from Rapha. On Thursday evening with a discount code for Rapha Base Layer products. Seeing as how I just posted a review of the Rapha Base Layer V-Neck. I figured I'd put this up for everyone. It's 30% off, which can make the difference for a lot of people, myself included. The original Rapha layer, available in long sleeve, short sleeve and sleeveless versions.

http://www.bespokeandwheel.com/2012/10/cotton-shellac-handlebar-treatment-im.html
Musings and reviews from an obsessive compulsive bicycle user. Tuesday, October 30, 2012. Cotton and Shellac Handlebar Treatment. Was the response I received from one bicycle shop as I went scrounging up my supplies for my latest project. Truth be told, that was my first thought too when my friend, Ean Parsons, suggested that wrapping my bars the old fashioned way, with cotton bar tape and shellac would be an affordable, classier option than my re-purposed inner tubes. Oak Cliff Bicycle Company. Shellac ...

Bespoke & Wheel: Praise Be Ye Nitto
http://www.bespokeandwheel.com/2013/02/praise-be-ye-nitto.html
Musings and reviews from an obsessive compulsive bicycle user. Sunday, February 3, 2013. Praise Be Ye Nitto. My Japanese made chrome Schwinn Voyageur was equipped from the factory with a seat post that was too short for me. It's something that I've found to be a problem on any bike that's not too big. However, it proved difficult to find a suitable 26.8 mm seat post that was long enough. The only options I found were cheap, heavy, Kalloy seat posts. And the classic offerings from Nitto. Flash forward to ...

Bespoke & Wheel: Free Handlebar Tape! A Low Cost or No Cost Solution
http://www.bespokeandwheel.com/2012/10/free-handlebar-tape-low-cost-or-no-cost.html
Musings and reviews from an obsessive compulsive bicycle user. Thursday, October 18, 2012. A Low Cost or No Cost Solution. A friend recently gave me a 1979 chrome Schwinn Voyageur (I think) that was in need of a little love. It had been rotting away in the garage for some time. I hadn't actually seen the bike before agreeing to take it, nor did I have any Idea what it would be. Needless to say I was giddy as a school girl when I saw it. But I can't wait to ride it! I know I want to put a Brooks. I should...
