well. decided to snap some pics before i boxed up the bikes to go to the handmade bike show in portland, oregon. it's only a few weeks away, so i figured what's the harm! the flower bike is denise's 650B/27.5" single speed mountainbike/commuter. as well as running 650b 2.35" knobbies it will also run 700c road wheels or cross tires if you slide the pads up the paul bmx motolite brakes. it also has paul levers, a king headset, phil hubs and bb with a flip-flop in the back, white industries freewheels and cranks, thomson post and stem, a ladie's brooks b-17, hope levers and velocity rims. the paragon sliders also alow the use of a derailleur, discs, or a rohloff hub. the paint job is all powdercoat including the logos and her name. sweet. second is gillis's bike. a 29er race bike, all xtr with a fox fork, 29er crossmax wheels and select goodies......whatcha think? i'll post detail pics later. see you all in portland, steve.

thanks, all. they turned out pretty damn nice. that blue 29er is LIGHT. that new XTR is pretty wacky stuff......pretty damn hi-tech. the brake pods/shifters look like a 23 piece hammer, for shure. denise's fork was made by good old walt to my specs. it is SHORT - 400mm atc, i think. still plenty of mud clearance. i'm not too hip on the loooong atc rigid forks. rock on, thanks for lookin', the show is gonna be a hoot! steve.
They just keep getting better. Good luck at the show.
Gillis, as in Shawn Gillis?
I hope so, he is a total inspiration to me. Remember riding house mountain/Turkey Creek together with him a few years ago? You did a super long nose wheelie coming into a switchback, almost went over the front, pulled in back down and made the corner. I was like "rad, I'm riding with Steve Garro, this is cool", then we shredded with Gillis back around the super fast single track at the bottom. That was my first ride with you, I'll never forget it.
Shred on Garro,
Eug
