Cycling Claremont: Chaparral Cycles

 Since the inception of the Claremont Cyclist blog, the transition from that to the CLR Effect, to today, I have tried to keep current on all things local cycling. During all that time I have seen many things come, and many things go, while others are still going strong. Usually I hear about things first hand, or by word of mouth; I think this may be a first - finding out about a new local bike maker via a sticker on a gate post in the Out There. You can check out their titanium bikes at their website, and on instagram.

Speaking of the Out There, it was good to see Robs out there, we both seem to be suffering from the same ride deficit lately.

the shoe tree had gone almost fully into winter hibernation now although, i must say, winter seems to be keeping its distance from southern California so far
