Ricky , Getting his bike checked out. Well a little bottom bracket/crank overhaul. It was making a noise. Loosie Goosie!

Our Go-To mechanic Dave. Dave always has a solution.

Olympic High School Teachers

We love having the staff from Olympic High School, drop by. We “Hooked Them Up” with a sweet ride for an Oak Grove student.
For us these kids are students. No need to put a label on them. But I would like for y’all to know about the good work our friends at HOPE are doing.

California Bicycle Coalition Summit

Good to see Chef Boy Rb at the summit. Interesting RB said he was riding in Antioch and ran into a family that had received bikes from The Bike Concord Bike Kitchen. Gotta luv that! And yep that is Cathy in the bikeground.

Bike Concord

Two of our mechanics working on two different genres of bikes. A cruiser and a drop bar bike.
“You never knowed” what’s going to come through the Bike Kitchen.

The Blue Drop Bar Bike:
These frames were custom made for a bike shop in Palo Alto.
BMZ/Biemmezeta
Very active during the 1970-90s as a contract builder and under their own brand. Made the Palo Alto frames, circa 1984-85. Made in Italy with Columbus tubing.

The rear triangle was bent and the paint horrendous. I would have scrapped it. But Dave saw the potential, straightened the frame and rattle can painted it. This bike is very responsive. I rode it around the parking lot ten times, I couldn’t stop riding it.
