what the fork?

June 3, 2026

20+ years  ago I got some business cards printed up.  As I was selling a few T-shirts here and there. This site started as a way to sell shirts and avoid the charges eBay started tacking on to every sale. 

 

“steel bike philosophy” whatever that is, is open to interpretation. But if there’s a product out there in the bike world that epitomizes the polar opposite of my steel bike philosophy, 

it’s this fork



Yesterday I saw this bike leaning on the wall free-locked outside the Miller Library.  It caught my eye enough to take a picture and make it last longer. Later, I showed the shot to Alistair and he knew right away what it was, where it’s made and how long it’s been around. I still haven’t looked at it in cyberspace. 

 

This is not a bike I’d like to own. This is a bike I’d like to test ride into a retaining wall.

 

Fork off

Fork you

What the fork?

 

Stick a fork in me, I’m done.
