A visit from the Fastboy
March 29, 2010
New York frame builder Ezra Caldwell and wife Hillary were visiting Pittsburgh this weekend. On Saturday, Ezra gave a talk for the BRICKS for Young Adults program, a lovely organization formed to provide a support network for young adults living with cancer and their families. Before the talk, a contingent of pittsburgh riders accompanied the Caldwells on a short trek covering some of the Allegheny Passage and Eliza Furnace trails that border the Monongahaela River. On Sunday, Ezra and Hillary were kind enough to brave the damp and stop by the shop.
I should explain- Mr Caldwell is something of a celebrity around ClankWorks. He has produced a gorgeous portfolio of custom frame and bicycle builds (fastboy cycles), not to mention being our original Ligneous Fender Luminary. Ezra offered some generous input on our production methods, as well as on a few upcoming projects.
Thank you for the visit, Ezra & Hillary! Hope to talk to you soon.

Drew, it was such a lovely time. In fact, we keep asking each other when our new friend Drew will come to visit…
much love to Pittsburgh, we’ll back for sure.
*that* is a beautiful sweeping machine! Reminds me of the original Austin Healey “Sprite”….all finely crafted lines…no trunk lid to clutter things up.
