nice job on the sprocket story haha!

Like this blog alot!

regarding the buy local post from yesterday, which gives good sense.

Handmade products are the best(mostly), but there seem to be a lack of that in europe. so if you want to support your local brand, you would have to buy som taiwanese made product.
But on the otherhand, you can get some very cheap parts on sale, if weight is n't an issue, esp frames.

would like to own an american made frame though, but they are frickin expensive.
but if that new dirt bike isn't heafty on the dollar, I'll get one of those def!

good weekend!!!!!!!
