Adventures in Milwaukee

Not long ago I visited Milwaukee to see the band Beirut at the Turner Hall Ballroom. While in Milwaukee I stopped off at Ben's Cycle. The shop is full of awesome stuff, including many Milwaukee Bike Co. builds, which are handmade in Waterford. I grabbed a few pics with my crappy cellphone camera.

This Gan Well Pro track bike with Dura-Ace was just beautiful.

A nice Milwaukee road bike with 105.

Another Milwaukee, set up as a type of randonneur bike, reminded me of my own Surly Pacer.

Beirut is a fantastic band and their performance may have been one of the best I've seen. I wasn't able to bring a camera into the music venue and I had left my cellphone in the car, but the show went a little something like this:
