Love at first sight: Astra

Posted on 9:49 PM by fdgdfg
Per your request. It is a great conversation starter, my favorite method of transportation and obviously we are attached at the hip. I have no exact name, year, make for each and every component, but I love every inch of this steel beauty, so here is a set of pictures. Feel free to get technical, if you must.

December 2006
Le info: This bicycle was passed on from relatives. They told me in the old-school-of-thought "Oh aren't you into bicycles? Get that bike some purpose, it's just sitting there." I was certainly flattered.
Purchased in San Francisco in the 70's along with a matching blue male Peugeot bicycle (stolen in the 90's). The photo above is how I found her. Replaced parts are the tires, inner tubes, brake pads and brake cables. Additions: Initial tune-up & tlc by a dear friend at Lombardi's sometime ago, basket from American Cyclery and most recently, fenders from Box Dog Bikes.
The rear release knobs were replaced for new bolts. The rest of the components are original and in incredible shape. The rear & front derailleurs are by Huret. It is made in France, Motobecane Astra with Tour de France decals. All 10 gears work, the bell rings old school and the saddle is smooth as butter.
Funny fact is that blue is not a favorite color but it has grown on me (both my bikes are blue & white). And yes I got the blue flats just because they matched... Enjoy!

Tres Cafes, tres districts.

Posted on 5:50 PM by fdgdfg

Caffé del Sole in the Inner Richmond serves Sicilian based roaster Miscela D'oro.
The only other places I've seen this coffee is mostly in North Beach and in West Portal. /California near 6th


Piccino in the Dogpatch district recently opened up a bit more space for dining and moved their coffee bar
a stone-throw away, serving Blue Bottle goodiness on the go, or to have with your pizzetta. /22nd and Tennesse


The Chestnut Bakery in the Marina has the cutest little cakes, but I'm all for the coffee.
They serve Mr.Espresso coffee /Chestnut near Divisadero

Ferry land

After the vendors and shoppers for the Saturday's farmers market have left, the Ferry Bldg. is a good spot to swing by, take a break and people watch.

Happy Friday! Drink Espresso, you must.

Posted on 7:43 PM by fdgdfg
Short and sweet visit to catch up with my homeboy yoda, in a galaxy far far away (or maybe closer, in the Presidio)

May the caffeine be with you.
