Question: Greetings from Portugal! I loved seeing photos from your excellent Colnago conversion. It looks great! but, how does it work in the mud? Have you tried it out? I am asking you this because I have the opportunity to get an 80's stylo road frame, much like your Colnago. All I have to do is weld the canti bosses and possibly dimple the chainstays... Is it worth it, or should I just get a

The skewers still have not arrived. KCNC is having production issues and assures me that they will be here shortly. Email me to get on the list to get a set for yourself.

Hey all, in case you needed another good reason to buy your KCNC brakes from me instead of anyone else out there on the internet this is it: the +1lap affiliates referral program. This is the deal: anyone who buys a pair of KCNC brakes from +1lap at the MSRP of $300 will be eligible to be enrolled in the affiliates program. What is it? You will earn $10 for every friend you send to me that

Another thing I've been working on is importing some of these sweet brakes from KCNC. The brakes are going to kill the Zero Gravity market. Their lighter and the lucky few whom have ridden them state-side say that they stop better. Oh, and their cheaper. I am running a pre-sale on them currently. Meaning, I have placed my order with KCNC and am just awaiting them to come across the ocean

Hey guys and gals, well not much posting lately on +1lap. I know. I got accepted to Boston U. and Babson College business school for next fall. I was spending the last weekend in Boston touring both campuses and am fairly certain that BU is where its going to be. So yeah, been busy with that. Also, preparing for the coming season, and am planning to race the Portland Spring Duathlon and

BTW---not sure if I posted this before, but found this scan of a Colnago catalog from 1988. And I think its my bike. There are many Colnago's out there. With very small deviations in each model. Why do I think this is mine? The right chainstay and rear dropouts are chromed.Fork is chromed (my bike has a chrome under the white, but I had them powdercoat over it because the chrome was in very

Finally built her up last week and was able to snap some shots this weekend. She's been built for some time now, but I didnt want to post pics until every last detail was in place. Even so, there are a few things that are still on the way or in the works to make this beauty queen even more glamorous. But this will do for now.

Recently, I stumbled upon a non-profit organization located here in Portland called Bikes To Rwanda (BTR). BTR strives to make bikes available to coffee farmers in Rwanda so that they can transport their raw coffee beans to the market. These are folks who make less in a year than most of us make in a day: a coffee farmer who has 5 kids and a wife barely supports his family on around $160 a year

One of the few carbon cyclocross racers in the Plus One Lap Lightweight Cyclocross Gallery is this newest addition from Veloforma.

Got an email from Kris Schamp regarding the Kruger's race this weekend, the weirdest and coolest thing being the corn maze that racers will have to navigate. Sounds like a fun time, might actually be fairly dry too. 1) Course & Maze: Last week, I was at the farm to check out the course and the corn maze. Here are some photos of the maze and other parts of the course. With the rainfall of

The first Santa Cruz cross bike for the +1lap galleries? This is a cool bike, check out the mono stay. Yo here is one for your galleries. Built this up 3 weeks ago and it is tipping the scales at 16.8. A super sweet machine that races very well. A great start for Santa Cruz in the cross market. $800 is the cost for frame only.

I'm proud to feature a story by Jason Autrey about his first cyclocross race: What possessed me to think this was a good idea? I mean how does a guy with little to no racing experience decide to race Cross. They don't make low enough categories for guys like me. Unlike mountain or road racing Cross offers little in the way of recovery. Me? I need all the recovery I can get. Not once have I

Say you have a frame that doesn't have a rear dérailleur hanger. Or maybe yours broke off and you want an easy fix. A cheap/quick fix is to run one of these: Note you might need to drill into your frame to secure it (ala the little hole in the part above, so it doesnt pivot) It might not be elegant, but many bikes in the 80's came stocked with this part for derailleured bikes for some reason.

Not my auction, but a pretty bad ass front hanger on Ebay right now. We discussed this on RBR a few years ago when someone asked what hanger Bart Wellens was running. Now you can buy one. Cool. Here's a cool pic of Wellens but not a great pic of his gold front cable hanger. Doesnt look like he's still using it. Maybe he decided to drop a few grams?
