Hey! I'm Victor, a full time bicycle mechanic and commuter. I like all things bike and I'm happy to work on whatever, but what really excites me is the cross-road between cheap and reliable. Steel frames, friction shifting, rim brakes, bin-digging, and quill stems (of course).

I plan on writing about bike industry shenanigans, favorite old tech, and Bay Area local stuff. Maybe an odd camping trip here and there. Stick around!

Tip your mechanic.
