Thank you! My boy and I stopped by the shop today in Walnut Creek with the Gus in tow. Will helped me troubleshoot a slipping seat post and he took it for a spin around the building. We discussed the build and he asked to take photos. That was a huge compliment! I love how friendly and nice

Hey Paul, I have a Burley D’Lite single kid trailer. For quick release with hooded dropouts they sell an extension. I have been using thru axle setups with Robert Axle Project axles and they have worked great! I will report how this ends up working. Hopefully it works as well as expected! On Mo

Wow, thank you for all the detail Erik! Some beautiful bikes there but that’s Susie and your new Gus definitely look best to me. I can understand choosing the Gus at that weight with a load but I am happy to hear it wasn’t too bad still. I’m 170-180 lbs depending on how much time I can get out.
