I stopped by Bike Kitchen to fix my brake cable. I met John, who is the original owner of this XO-1. He was there to fix a flat tire. John originally owned a purple 1992 XO-1, but within 3 day of owning it, it was run over by a car. The Bridgestone rep was kind enought to send him a 1993 frame as a replacement.
John also went on to say that his bike was actually stolen and recovered recently. Truly a bike with many stories.

Manny's new whip
Seriously stoked for Manny. His Bleriot was stolen from him last year. Now he's rocking a beautiful orange Riv Hillborne.

The right fenders
Finally! I was looking for some SKS plastic ones in 20. No dice. I then got some Wald mid-weight metal fenders. Those wouldn't fit. At that point I tried Wald shorties front and back. I really did't like them too well. Too floppy. Ramona Wheelright suggested I try ebay for some old school Schwinn fenders. I found some late 50s/early 60s fenders. McCauley fenders. Clicked buy-it-now and they were on Bubo by Monday night.
