the great kona theft of '09

12/8/2022

This post dates back to March of 2009 - enjoy!

I love singlespeeds because of their simplicity; they're easier to fix (no shifters to tune), easier to spec (no money to spend on gears), and maybe even easier to ride (just pedal!). but I believe they're very personal. I don't believe that I would ever buy a singlespeed made by someone else.

two - This is the Grundig MTB World Cup event in Canmore, AB, 1998. Pictured is 2011 Tour de France champion Cadel Evans. It's very hard to find pics of Evans, or anybody really, from events this old. I have an entire roll - though they're not that great to be honest.

one - I had always thought this was also Evans, but this guy is wearing a different jersey. So, it's either Jean-Christophe Savignoni, or, Canadian Andreas Hestler. I can't read the number plate, and can't tell from his face, so once I find the pictures (that I've conveniently packed away), I'll look for another of this mystery Cannondale rider.

three - This is Filip Meirhaeghe, who in 2004 was busted for doping and shockingly didn't deny it. Instead, he admitted to it, and retired. I have a hell of a lot more respect for him than I do most of the other cheaters that got caught.

For a while now, I've wanted to round up the posts that I liked from all the old platforms that I've used over the years, and now is the time. So keep an eye out for some old content that will probably be new to you.

I've found stuff going back some twenty years, so it's going to be vintage posts on a vintage bike site.
