I am Steve and I am often accused of living in a parallel universe, it is true!
My happy place is full of parts to tinker with, so lots of times I start working on a bike but end up with a lamp or a kids toy.
When I concentrate hard enough I love building useful bikes for people that appreciate not only the aesthetics but functionality also. Most of the time I use old steel frames, repaint them and make them something brand new using either vintage or new stuff, aiming for something unique and personal.
My, very small, bike shop contains really much more parts, bikes, tools, and friends that it can carry and that's why it is beautiful.
When I occasionally live in your world I enjoy long rides with my daughter as a co-pilot, coffee with friends and other... normal stuff.
