• Well, tomorrow the demolition crew officially arrives to usher TATI out of the basement, but where will it land? For the time being, I guess things will continue on as a state of mind and a trickle of custom completions coming out of my personal, non-commercial basement. And of course there is the team, which some of you know about, and others are very curious about. But all that will be explained some time in the next few weeks.

  In the meanwhile, I'm tapping resources where possible, and much like the Point preservationists, waiting on Saint Obama to save the day. You see, last summer I was returning from a Metropolis run along the path, somewhere near 43rd Street, when I saw a very odd procession in the distance: a couple of little kids, some wobbly parents, and six huge fellows in suits and shades riding brand new, ill-fitting Trek hybrids. Sure enough, it was Team Obama, cruising the LFP. And so Barack, if you're out there listening, let's do make finding TATI a new home one of the final things you do for the neighborhood as Senator. I'll even build you a proper fleet of custom presidential bicycles: none of this heavily branded, full suspension nonsense. They'll be understated and classy, 59.5cm frames with short top tubes and narrow Nitto bars, because I already know that's how you'll roll.
