The Site of the Day: Dave Moulton’s Bike Blog

Okay, we admit it. We're old... at least old enough to remember when owning one of Dave Moulton's frames was something that would place you on the top rung of the tech ladder when you showed up for a group ride in our neck of the woods. We were quite pleased when reader Chris Harshman sent us the link to a BLOG authored by none other than the venerable framebuilder himself, although we have to admit to a little bit of temporal shock when we realized that Moulton has been retired for more than 14 years now.
