I love the Schwinn-esque graphics very -black-Racer- can you pls talk a little about how it was all done? this is the level of kustomization that I think a lot...
I've been reading your notes on Flickr, Bob. Good stuff. I like what you said about the Phil and Schmidt hubs matching. Now that I own a Schmidt hub, I don't...
... aesthetically, they do a pretty good job of looking passably modern and classic at the same time; top-shelf but not flashy. its that clean, elegant,...
... I just noticed something Peter White and Phil Wood have the same initials anyway... has anyone ever sent a Schmidt hub to White for service? Matthew...

... Yes. Still waiting, apparently it was a tough job to get the shell apart. And PJW is surely a busy person. Now I await bearing replacement and wheelbuild....
on an old 3-piece, black center hub? wow. mine went notchy long before i actually broke down and sent it back, and i waited until i could purchase a 3nd...

For a number of years, I was making LED lights for museum display lighting, and as such I worked a lot with the reps for Luxeon LEDs. They had some very nice...
