Detail, close up of the hinge of my classic eyewear from Gail Spence, on original. More than 30 years old, still going strong on Ebay. Maybe I should sell it. Saturation on the strong side, but still colorful compared to many other glasses I used.

The Modular Housing System (MHS) believes the essence of the term ‘modular’ has been lost by conforming to the notion of a modular section (box) design exclusively.
The concept of modularity is far more resourceful and refers to a system of standardized components and dimensions that work together to afford the builder and designer easy assembly, repair and flexibility in arrangement. Today’s modular home as understood by the construction industry is indistinguishable from a conventionally built home. The few distinctions between modular homes and traditional frame homes tend to be the box-like sections that are finished in a factory and connected on site. This really approximates very little of the flexibility and value offered by a truly modular construction system.
The MHS is a genuinely modular aluminum framing system because it enables virtually unlimited configurations. The system further facilitates modularity with a simple selection of components that supports the structure’s frame while also affording access to the connections. An entire structure can be framed by employing only seven components. In addition, any existing materials, finishing or connections can be applied to the system.
Each dimension created produces a space-frame that allows use along the surface area, along the framing members and within the ceiling, producing a complete envelope. This enables use of the entire space within the frame. Dead space, a wasted resource resulting from conventional construction, is no longer an issue. The MHS structure functions more efficiently because it offers more exploitable space. For more information please visit: "http://www.modularhousingsystem.com"

This girl's bike features an aluminum frame in the streamlined style first introduced by the Arnold Schwinn Co. in 1934. A product of industrial design, streamlining was very popular in the 1930’s and 40’s for bicycles, and also for automobiles and household appliances. While a heavy machine at 42 pounds, the Silver King was about 20 pounds lighter than the average steel bicycle of similar design. This machine is equipped with the 24 x 2 ¼” balloon tires that were introduced by Schwinn in 1936. It features a fender laced with cord to create a skirt guard, a motorcycle-style kickstand, and a Morrow coaster brake, and it sold new for $29.95. The first aluminum frame bicycle was the Lu-minum, built in 1893 by the St. Louis Refrigerator and Wooden Gutter Co. Monark reintroduced the aluminum frame in 1935 and by 1936 offered eight models.
This Red Bird Studios resident/painter brought in his early 90s aluminium Cannondale (with a built-in seat-post pump) to the shop:
N: "My chain skips in some of the gears..."
[It turns out the chain was worn way beyond replacement, according to the chain checker. We replaced the chain, and Nathan left a seemingly happy camper.]
Five minutes later:
N: -"Now the chain skips in ALL the gears!"
[Upon closer inspection, the middle chainring was shark-finned as fuck. We pulled the crank and replaced it with a similar, albeit Biopace, ring. GREAT SUCCESS!]
Moral of the story: replace your chains before they wear out your chainrings, people!

54cm Felt Z85 with 700cX23 Gatorskins, 105 drivetrain. I was pretty impressed. I'd guess that this bike weighs in at about half of what my wide tired, fully fendered, steel framed Rivendell does. That made riding up all the SF hills quite a bit easier. The ride was certainly rougher than I'm used to, but I can see the attraction of these lightweight race bikes much more after having riden one for a long weekend. The saddle was awful. I probably should have made note of what exactly it was so I can avoid them in the future.
Rental was reasonable, $40 for the first day, $20 for each subsequent day, cheaper than baggage fees for bringing your own bike. Includes a lock so you don't even need to bring your own, although we brought an extra u lock and cable anyway. In the future I'd bring a saddle, multi-tool and perhaps pedals and shoes.
October 3. This is one of my new set of wheels (the other is a 2007 VW Rabbit) which I got from Allen Bedford. She's very very pretty and also is a dream to ride. I've been busy since arriving in Austin but I'm excited to explore the area on my bike when I get a chance.
I like that the components are black and fade out into the darkness and the frame stands out, almost like it's floating. I also like the soft shadow the bike casts on the bricks.
