so here it is, the 1992 Trek 950 Singletrack that is my next project, a badass 650b city bike. more info to come as i get the parts 😉 -peter

so after i had the Univega almost all ready to be powdercoated what should come along? an older lugged Bianchi thats what! it seems to be of the 80’s vintage, made in Italy, Columbus steel, pretty lugs, and that handmade quality that put Bianchi on the map. all the parts are coming together slowly as…
Jensen Beeler over at Asphalt & Rubber had me tag along for a shoot down in Portland at Motoczysz’ headquarters, focusing on the hot swap battery packs and original frame. look for more info over at Asphalt & Rubber awesome stuff, i have to tell you 😀 -peter
