"Jake, have you ever ridden aluminum?"

I had the pleasure to pedal some of the finest heat treated aluminum ever made.This 56 x 56 Klein quantum was hand picked from the bathroom rafters by George Slough himself at the Race Street shop in San Jose. George had a 55 and let me take it home to Santa Cruz to pedal for a week to see if I would like the feel of a rocket ship with an SR aluminum fork.

  2. When Olive had a vball tournament in SJ this year, I called him to see if he was still there and if I could swing by for a visit and he was still rocking the race street shop!
