    @01x4 here was mine. Only sold it because I switched my riding styles to something more aggressive so I need a bigger suspension bike

    All-City still exists, kinda. They aren't designing any new frames but they're still pumping out minor revisions and new colorways to existing frames and will continue to do that for another year or two from what I've read. You can still get a Gorilla Monsoon.

    That lLog Lady, though, those are long out of production and somewhat rare at this point.

    I kind of miss that guberment cheese from the early 80s. There was a grey market for it if you knew somebody. It tasted like a cross between american, swiss, and cheddar. It made great Rotel Cheese Dip.

    Nice! We have a local dealer for them here that does well with them. I think my next new frame whenever I can will be a Rivendell.
    I just got a new Velo Orange Polyvalent to build up before summer, so that's gonna be my bigger project for now. Its a low kicker frame, looks like this:

    Kinda like the Rivendell Wolbis. Something different. (Besides its all mostly flat around here)
    One of the vintage frames is getting a single speed though, I miss that.

    Remember all the "Cheese, Glorious Cheese" commercials? Looking back that was weird. There were so many

    I cannot, but the resale on them is still insane so you should do okay I'd imagine. Try CarMax too if you don't have local luck.

    Carmax is a good way of selling a car for some a reasonable offer

    They'll get a check to you same day, but plan to leave the vehicle there while they go through their whole evaluation process versus waiting

    23&me is filing for bankruptcy, make sure you put in the request to have them delete your data and samples if you've used their service (you can download all of the info first so you have it to keep).

    (et @Sperrunner )

    Most mass-produced "nice" (ie, not department store grade) steel bike frames are made at the same factory in Taiwan. I spotted Rivendell and Velo-Orange in the video, and some I didn't recognize.

    I'll have to check that out, thanks. I was aware of the factory but hadn't seen a video.
    VO had a recent post visiting the factories they use that was cool to see as well:

    I drank a shit ton of milk back then too. We had a local dairy that delivered, it was great. You could hear the milkman clinking up the driveway. Very Mayberry.
