I'm back from France this Year

noreply@blogger.com (bg) — Fri, 03 May 2019 22:11:00 +0000

I'm back from France after saving for almost a year.
Took a barge trip again in a different part of France - the Canal du Midi in the South of France.
Again the food and service was great.

We visited Carcassonne - which was like Disneyland built in the 12th Century. Very busy and it was out of season. So I need to sell more tires.

I went to NAHBS & Then the SOPWAMTOS Party

noreply@blogger.com (bg) — Tue, 26 Mar 2019 16:02:00 +0000

I went to NAHBS in Sacramento CA and hung out at the Rock Lobster booth with Paul Sadoff.

Saw a lot of Old Friends. After I went to the SOPWAMTOS Party, it was hosted by Robert Ives, who did a fantastic job. He got me a hotel room and a Lyft ride back from the party. He had T-Shirts & and stickers made all of the proceeds went to the rescue of dog. A very worthy cause. I had a Great Time.

It has been over a Year since I quit the Shop!

noreply@blogger.com (bg) — Thu, 21 Feb 2019 22:16:00 +0000

It has been over a Year since I quit the shop in February 1st 2018. I miss my machines and making stuff. It has been almost 3 years since I rode a Bicycle (my sense of balance is gone). I really miss riding my Rock 'n Road. The picture makes me long for the trails around here a lot. The picture is by Nick Haig-Arack of his custom built Rock 'n Road bicycle with Rock 'n Road tires on it. I guess I will live the rest of my life through the pictures of other people riding through the glorius countryside and my memories.

It has been almost a Month and a 1/2 since I closed the shop

noreply@blogger.com (bg) — Fri, 09 Mar 2018 16:32:00 +0000

Flashback - this is me on the left (probably 1979 or 1980 - I'm not sure of the date) and Richard Olken of The Bicycle Exchange in Boston, MA on the right. No laughing at my "Turtle Neck Sweater" - to say nothing of Richard's outfit, but, it was a different time.

I'm just getting the hang of not having my machines or shop, but, I'm surviving.

I pack up the tires everyday and take them to the Post Office.

My Online Store - http://brucegordoncycles.bigcartel.com - is still up to date and complete.

The price on the tires (as well as everything else on the Online Store) has been the same as it was 4 or 5 years - what else can you say has been the same price for 4 or 5 years.

The tires are made in Japan by Panaracer - NOT Thailand, Taiwan, or China.

Regards and Thanks for your continued response,
Bruce

Happy Valentines Day!

My frame fixtures with the stand are still available (unfortunately they are for pick only - unless you want to arrange packing & shipping).

Bruce Gordon
