Move Over Carbon Fiber: Wood!

"Good Morning. Check out this killer wooden bike." - Lance Armstrong on his Twitter.

Everyone: Meet Charlie

Charlie is sad.
Why, you ask?
Today, May 11th, Charlie's MacBook was stolen from our shop. We have a vague description of the culprit, and the local police doing something, but keep your eyes peeled. Who knows which pawn shop the thing will end up at.

It's black, and has Devo/Pikachu on the desktop.
