this is frida in 2009 on the bianchi volpe he has been riding for the last 5 years, ever since his fuji bike was stolen from the lobby of our apartment building. 
the bianchi was stolen recently from behind a security gate, locked with a u-lock to a bike rack, outside of frida's office in the lovely media gulch neighborhood of the mission, sf, ca. since the photo above, I installed honjo fenders and a VO porteur rack, which frida used to carry his basketball to games. adios fair friend. I didn't sleep well last night, thinking about our lost friend, the bianchi. she was like a horse to us.
