COMMUTER BIKE OF THE WEEK...

Belongs to Derrick "D-Rod", "The Pride of South Congaree", "Sweet Sonny Sixpence", "The Roger Ailes of Inside Sales" Boatwright. Derrick has been a commuting dynamo this summer but for some strange reason (geomancy, plain and simple) his trusty Storck has alluded the hallowed halls of the Hawley Blog. I could've used "Hootenanny" instead of "Blog" to drive that alliteration home, but as we all know, discretion is the better part of valor when it comes to alliteration. Have we learned nothing from Tiananmen Square??? You know, with the tank and the guy standing in front of it reciting W.H. Auden's "The Age of Anxiety"? Back to the issue at hand. I'll try and be as detailed as possible. Derrick's lovely Storck is made of carbon fiber and comes with two wheels. It has a saddle for sitting upon and pedals for velocitizing. The Sram handlebar tape is edible. Derrick prefers black cherry. Often times, Derrick can be seen breaking off a hunk of tape, popping it into his mouth and whistling a happy tune, perhaps about Gator Claus... TROY?!?!?! It's a nice looking Storck but the blog has to raise an eyebrow at that Sigma headlight. That is SO Fall 2007....

Sram Red levers match hubs, handlebar, seatpost and brake pads. But do they match Colin's sleeveless turtleneck???
Zipp cranks and pedals we don't sell. They rhyme with Pee'd Play
The cockpit, where all the action happens. Theres that Sigma light! Notice the handlebar tape...
Fizik saddle and matching bag. If you buy a Storck, we throw in a Fizik, free of contamination or disease.
The Storck waits patiently outside for Derrick to leave work.
See there, got through an entire blog post without mentioning those scandalous chili dogs next door! If I opened a chili dog shack, I would call it "Just Chilin'!" or "Free Money Inside!" (to get the consumer's attention)
