Taipei, home to 2.7 million people and the capital of Taiwan, has a really big secret lurking among the tight streets and winding alleyways. This is where iconic bicycles go to retire. The private collection of Asahi Chang is the largest of its kind in the world, housing more than 600 professional track and road bicycles. Unavailable for public viewings, we were lucky enough to have a peek into the ultimate collection that has been nick named, "åè½¦ä¹¦æ¿" - Bicycle Heaven.

Richard Sachs is well known for his accomplishments in the world of bicycle frame building and cyclocross. Now it seems this success if flowing over into a full on Sachs brand with such instances as the latest House Industries showing at the Rapha Cycle Club in New York.

I have a friend that was skilled enough to acquire such a coveted machine. Before doing this bicycle justice with a proper build he had Joe Bell add a new coat of paint. What's that you say? You've never seen this scheme before? Well, what's better than having a bicycle in your collection from such a coveted builder? A one of a kind paint job to match. Approved by Richard Sachs and Joe Bell both, naturally. Said friend added a few of his own personal touches as well such as the Campagnolo decal on the Steelman stem pictured above to make this a truly unique ride.

A Happy Moment

Back in 2010 I quit my job and worked at a bike shop in LA. This shop was filled with some truly inspiring people and looking back on it now, I feel fortunate to have been there. So many great friends were made in my years working in that dirty old building on Heliotrope.

The Juice was a small bike club I dreamed up for the shop. Our kit was also the first one that my friend Eric & I ever designed. I remember being so proud of this kit & excited to see my friends/co-workers happy to wear them. Its was only 4-5 years ago but these were different times as far as kits are concerned (as most of you might know). Good stuff was hard to come by!

One day I arrived to work (probably late) and one of my co-workers (Ace) stopped me right as I walked in the door. He (literally) screamed at me ”Robin Williams bought A FUCKIN’ JUICE KIT MAN! Fuckin’ ROBIN WILLIAMS! You’re Famous! He really liked it! You gotta see Kyle’s photo!”.

The times when he came into the shop Robin was super humble & pretty normal from what I remember. He usually just talked about vintage or obscure bikes w/ Kyle, (this is Kyle’s specialty) . I doubt he knew that I was the guy who helped design his kit (or even cared). I doubt this was his favorite jersey or that he wore it often. He had hundreds of jerseys! I know because he once told me “I have hundreds of jerseys”! None of that matters to me. This photo (by Kyle Kelley) made me smile 4 years ago & it still works today. Our buddy & also another former co-worker Omar is the guy in the background.

This image represents a period in my life that I really enjoyed. Where new friendships were being made…a time when my wheels started turning again (literally & figuratively). Doing something little for someone (like posing for a photo) although trivial to you can mean a lot more than you might ever know…

This photo means a lot to me.

RIP Robin Williams
