It's interesting how people ask questions to Google. I had a keyword search 'why did graeme Obree get disqualified' It's also interesting how bad people's spelling can be

Like you, I am often suprised by what people type into Google and why my blog comes up for some keywords. Strange ones I have found in my logs include "moulton for sale" , "new watson bicycle" and "what are the names of the towns around the city of lucca Italy?"

Follow up question on cure for geek forearm numbness: change hands to what?

I don't need the answer for me. Honest. It's for a friend.

I found this blog looking for methods to determine the correct stem length; I'm just getting back into riding after 23 years, and unfortunately I forgot most of the tricks the owner of the local bike shop showed me back then.

Actually what's funny is that when I found this blog, the first thought I had was, "Hey! This guy's got the same name as a frame builder I remember hearing about back in the early eighties" Thankfully, it didn't take me long to figure out you were the same guy.

Anyway, thank you for the fascinating posts; I love your writing style. I've been looking for your novel in the local bookstores the last couple weeks, but no luck--guess I'll have to order it from Amazon.

Take care and best of luck, Dave!
