Alright! It’s my last sales pitch for the Society of Three Speeds membership kit pre-sale! Until 11:59 PM Pacific Time on Friday December 14, get the kit for $15 plus shipping/fees. After that it goes up to $20. You’ll get the patch, buttons, stickers, your membership card, and more!
And what is this “more”? Well, we’ve partnered with @machinehouse in Seattle, for one. Go to either location (Georgetown or Central District), present your membership card, and receive $1 off pints of their five core beers! Yes, that’s right! Machine House wants to be a gathering place for three speed enthusiasts, so check them out.

Hello friends! The annual Bike Craft Fair is coming up this weekend. What is it, you may ask yourself? I said previously that it's..."a bicycle-themed take on the traditional (or truer to form, the hipster version) craft fair", probably the world's only bicycle-centric holiday gift fair. It has occurred every December since 2005 (with the exception of 2016), and I’ve tabled most of them (every single one from 2005-2011, then 2015, then 2017.). It is the biggest sales-related event that I do annually.
It'll be happening this weekend, Saturday December 15 and Sunday December 16, 12 PM to 6 PM both days. Bike Craft will be at TaborSpace - 5441 SE Belmont (which is located in Mount Tabor Presbyterian Church.) There'll be 30ish vendors, listed here - everything from warm winter bike gear, stuff decorated with bikes, bikey coloring books, art made out of bike parts, and so much more!
As for myself, I'll be selling comics, zines, postcards, buttons, Postcard Club memberships, and Society of Three Speeds memberships--bascially anything you can get in my store.* So if you are local, swing on by and avoid paying postage and fees!
Hope to see you this weekend. And thank you for your support! *I won't be bringing posters. But if you are local and want one, let me know by mid-day Wednesday.
Love your blog, I have a later model x-03 and I wanted to get some pictures of your basket/front rack combo as my Bridgestone is my commuter, recently tenderizer, awaiting a brooks infusion to the drive nut damper and steering controls, lol. I’ll give you a few picks of mine for a few of yours!
Hey Paul, thanks! All the photos of my XO-3 can be found here, so dig through it for more:

Just curious if you’d be interested. I have 2 matching 1992 Bridgestone XO-3 hybrid bicycles with original receipt and original manuals. Purchased new in Portland, Oregon in 1992. My wife and I don’t ride them anymore and they’ve been kept in a heated garage. I live over in Joseph, Oregon – about 7 hours East of Portland.
Hello John, thank you for getting in touch! Right now, I am not interested in purchasing any more bikes.
