Action is character, according to a guy named Francis who is dead and who I never knew but, from all I hear and read, was pretty rotten at life except for just a few things, one of which was writing beautifully. He looked good in a Brooks Brothers suit, too. Despite my regard for his writing, I don’t get the Brooks Brothers but I do entertain the possibility that those who do might know things of ...

i have invited Diane Lees to join not only the Smoked Out world but the V place community at large atmo. i know she's been reading here for a while and many of us have been guests on her radio show. i have come to believe that with oprah retiring and larry king nearing his 118th birthday, diane and The Outspoken Cyclist will become the next big thing on the airwaves. the n

So Richard emailed me and asked me to do a Smoked Out post. Thinking he must be insane, I ignored him. Smoked Out posts are something framebuilders do. Not me. Turns out he’s serious, and emailed again to remind me of the request. Oh well, I guess I’d better get off my proverbial and chime in.
It all started when I was a teenager. My first full-sized bike, at age 14 or so, was an Avanti

Spooky in 1993 sold hardcore and straight-edge-influenced t-shirts at races up the east coast. Kevin Hopkins, his then-wife Christine, his brother Chris Cotroneo, and a kid named Bill were the owners. They got a lot of crap for their looks, their attitude and their beliefs, and the furor garnered enough sales to build some frames. They wanted a bike for the riding where they lived, in SW Connectic ...

I would like to thank Richard Sachs for pushing me to get this rolling.
It all started with a dream. I dreamt of riding a bike without training wheels. I don’t know how old I was exactly, but I was young. It was a blue bike with solid plastic tires and big old training wheels. It was one of those dreams that felt completely real. I could feel the balance and t
