My last night in Millbrae!

I was driving Brian's Acura TL home to Alberts, and saw this blind couple crossing the street. It really made me think, but Im not sure what was going through my mind, it was just really inspirational. Brian said "true love." Good stuff, good night.

New old bikes

First is a sweet 03' Giant OCR1 that i got for $175, full shimano 105 triple components. Qyel rode it for a 30 mile ride and liked it. Really good condition for its age, all i did was swap the threaded stem for a threadless one. Not much work needed


Second is a tiny 48cm 1990 Cannondale 3.0 SR300. 60 buckos (check out the weirdly low top tube near the stem). I need to replace all the cables/housing as they are rusty as fack and change out the dry rotted tires. Maybe the rusty chain and freewheel too haha.. (not the og saddle, i swapped out the large gel one) This one will be my winter project.



Third is a beat down Bianchi Alfana i got for cheap. It's a SS conversion and has a flip flop rear wheel. Its huuuge but I bought this mainly to sell to a friend that may want a commuter. Not too bad condition except the nasty rusted chain. I do wish it had the components on it still thought :(
