“My pink/gray bike project. As little black as possible. Pink headset, saddle and tape in honor of the cancer survivors in my family.” This beauty — a Vamoots — belongs to tbrownell, who has a very nice quiver of bikes. Photo courtesy of Velospace.org.

  5. 10 stages of double fun The Death Valley Double Century. A definite keeper. Do it, if you like doubles or enjoy the desert. Ride it, because it’s one-of-a-kind.
