Almost two years ago I posted about a most beautiful bicycle built by Richard Sachs for Jonathan Green.

Last week I received emails from both Richard and Jonathan. Richard had found my page and let Jonathan know. It was nice to hear from both. Hearing from them was also a whack on the side of the head, metaphorically speaking. A year and a half ago I was working on a fixed gear road bike. Money and taking care of Gerry put that on hold. I've been thinking about getting back to finishing the fixie and getting it on the road again. Hearing from Richard and Jonathan moved my enthusiasm up a few notches. Here is Richard's site:

RICHARD SACHS CYCLES

Truly an artist in metal work. I wish I could afford one. Even more, I wish I was enough of a rider to be worthy of a Richard Sachs frame. Check out his links, gallery, and many articles. And Jonathan has a neat site:

Tribute to the Plate Fork Crown

I'm going to start a bicycle section in my blogroll with these two sites. I would do it now but I'm still in Gerry's room and my laptop doesn't have the right software.
