Hi Freaks -- I miss you all! Been showing the old pink GIS around CO this summer.

Just because WFBH is over...

Indy Fab Buyers Beware!

I recently had an experience with Independent Fabrication where I encountered the most atrocious customer service I have ever had. I currently own 4 of their bikes, and used to be a huge fan, but I will now never purchase another piece of equipment from them. What once was a cool, high quality, and grassroots bike builder, is inevitably spoiled by management (Head Badge) who just think bikes are cool and want to make a buck (stole this line from Psmurf). I want to share this experience in hopes that no one else considering this builder will have to go thru what I did. Stay away from IF.

Happy Birthday TTTT!

Party like it's 15 years ago. Kenwood/GIS team.

Look for GFried, WW, Becko, DrtGrl, Baba and more.

As far as I'm concerned, this is the official Kenwood team band for the time being.

PARTY LIKE IT'S 5 YEARS AGO

Ok, the rumors have been flying. Some said it was a sure thing. Others said it would never happen. Some questioned the rational. Well, I'm hear to tell you that it ain't no joke. The fire is hot and it's time to start cookin'!

On July 10th 2010 at 5:30pm, every last one of you damn Kenwoodies and Friends of Kenwood needs to meet at the OLD SHOPPE in Kenwood. After a lot of milling about and getting in the way of store patrons and walkers, we will ride some trails to the north and then head east for a good old fashioned party at One On One Bike Studio in Downtown Minneapolis.


There will be some beer available, but plan on bringing some if you can. Nobody is rich (except Fride), so it's a pot luck kind of thing. Drop something off at OOOBS if you want / can prior to meeting at Kenwood or pick something up on the way or just free load. All styles are welcome.


What's all this about you ask? Well, it was about 5 years ago that the Vitch closed the Shoppe doors for good and so why not have a fucking party to celebrate! As Husker Du said, it makes no sense at all, but that's exactly why we should do it! Not that we need a reason to drink. We all do just fine without one.


Special guest? Maybe...Who knows?? You'll have to show up to find out.

As the kit ordering over the past years has proved, Kenwood Racing is going strong. One idiot even got a Kenwood Racing tattoo if you can believe that shit.


Alright! Let's do this. Shine up your rig and head down to the Shoppe on the 10th. It will be great to see everyone, ride together, have a drink and remember the old days of Kenwood.

Wearing of Kenwood Skinsuits is highly recommended.

If you have any Kenwood memoribilia, drop it at One On One. I do and it's kick ass!

Oh yeah, all questions or hate mail should be directed to Ben down at OOOBS. He's an expert at that stuff.

Of course, kids are most welcome as are mom's and dad's, brother's and sister's, aunt's and uncle's, grandma's and grandpa's and anyone else who likes the color orange.

Cuyuna trip

I want to get a group ride together to the Cuyuna Rec Center on September 10-12. I am reserving a group camp site and want to know how many K-Woodies would be interested. This is going to be the premier MTB site in the state and will probably get the IMBA 'epic' designation. Let me know asap so I can get a reservation. This is primitive camping, but water and vault toilets are available. 4 bucks a night if 12 go for 2 nights.
