Interbike Events

As you well may know Interbike (the U.S. bike industry's big tradeshow) is next week, and both I and the Robeast Trevor Crayton will be there. If you go make sure to stop by the AC booth and say hello. We'll both have our bikes and will be out riding everynight if you want to ride. The best part of Interbike for me is always getting out and riding with new people.

There are also a couple of races going on that week and I'm stoked to check them out. I just realized that by bringing my Dropout instead of the Big Block my race chances are pretty much gone, but Trevor will be doing his thing and should be one to watch in both events.

looking forward to seeing you there

Tricks and Drinks new location

actually an old location, we're back to the warehouse district. letting the garage get back to normal and avoiding the stench of piss.

mike even made a new flier:

Carney's Dropout

Went riding with Mike tonight. It was his first ride on his new bike. The bike's color is grey on grey if you cannot tell from the photos.







sorry for the black and white pics of a new bike, but B&W is the only way for me to make the photos look half way decent with my camera flash. And don't worry about not getting a better view of the bike, you'll have an in depth look soon.

Gnome Fest Photos

These were the only photos on my camera from Gnome Fest. You'll have to use your imagination to fill in the rest.

Trash Bags: Backpack-Hip Pouch-Website

Stopped by Trashbags HQ yesterday to pick up my new hip pouch and Andy was sewing his first ever roll top backpack

but before I get to that you should be aware that Trashbags now has a new website.

Tentatively called the "Garbage Barge" this bag was made for a friend of his for traveling and carrying a large load

large main compartment and an outside waterproof front pouch of considerable size


generously padded shoulder straps and a hidden stash pocket between the bottom and back panels


side compression straps


Question: What's the hardest part about buying a hip pouch

Answer: Telling your dad you're gay.

Trash can detail


This is his Wastebasket II model which holds three beers. The bag is very well made, and comfortable and should prove just the thing for when a large bag isn't necessary. shows, bars, racing, etc. Although in Minnesota winters there's no way I can get by without a large bag, so this will mostly be a summer item.


Andy also put an outside pouch on it at my request. One of the best things about dealing with Andy is his willingness to try new things and do custom work.


integrated u-lock holster


go get one
