The 2009 NACCC has started here in Boston and it’s great to see all the new out of town faces out on the streets. I was busy working over at Superb on the renovation for most of the day and we were getting a lot of visitors stopping by to scope out the place. We met people from all over, some just checking out the shop, others who were getting ready for the main event by checking out all the checkpoints. Later in the evening I rode over a few blocks to the 4th wall project where the Courier art show is currently hung, to mingle and check out the art. It is a rather impressive show, definitely worth checking out. I hear it should be up for the next couple weeks, so if you are around, stop by. Word is I will be spinning at the Harpers Ferry NACCC Party tomorrow night, so hopefully I’ll see everyone there!
Ben, the US Cinelli rep, stopped by Superb yesterday to show me the 2010 Cinelli line-up. I don’t think I am supposed to give away too much info on the new models, but holy crap, I know I will have my own Cinelli before the end of the year.
Here is a peak of some not so secretive models

The renovation is getting super close to completion. We are a little behind schedule as all renovations tend to be, but it looks like we will be soft opening next week. The whole shop is starting to take shape and is getting everyone so excited.
People keep walking by and saying “oh the bike shop is gone, what kind of restaurant is this going to be” seriously. My favorite conversation went like this, word for word, not kidding, it was a couple walking by, the girl says, “oh the bike shop is closed”, what is going in, the guy says, “a restaurant”. Not “I think a restaurant”, but he somehow knew it was a restaurant for sure. I think we are going to have to start serving food or people are going to be super disappointed, unless they enjoy the taste of phil grease like us.
Everyone should go out and cop the latest issue of BUST, apparently they have a whole spread on bike fashion:
Check that upper right corner, it’s announced on the cover no less! I haven’t gotten my copy yet, but if this teaser picture is an accurate peek it looks like it should be pretty good.
I am SOOO excited for the new Tron movie. I know, its geeky but, whatever. It has basically everything I love in life in it so how could I not be stoked. Rad bikes, Neon colors, 3-D viewing, and DAFT PUNK is doing the freaking soundtrack. I don’t know how I am going to wait this long.
