Dave: Master Fitter, Wheel BuilderDave has 25 years in the cycling industry. After many years at Metro Bicycles in NYC, Dave co-founded The Racer’s Edge in Boca Raton Florida before moving to Durham for a brief academic career. His treatise on off-brand derailleurs, Everything You wanted to Know about Sachs but were Afraid to Ask, can be found in the sub basement of Duke’s Lilly library.
Scotty: Service Manager, Touring ExpertScotty is a multiple Moth “Pensive Stare” grand-slam winner. His secret is to visualize himself discussing the religious symbolism in Southerlands Bicycle Mechanic’s handbook (3rd ed.) with Ben Sisko over a glass of Synthehol. When not at the shop, Scotty can be found training his daughter for the anticipated inclusion of non-lethal Bat’leth in the 2024 Olympics.
Phil: Head Mechanic, Campagnolo ExpertOur resident hair care model, Phil no longer recommends the use of Tenacious oil as a hair treatment. The pleasant tingling sensation, he notes, is actually the first stage of the polex neuromotor syndrome, a disorder making it impossible to shift gears with one’s thumb.
Joe: Assistant ManagerJoe is a jack of many trades – He doesn’t talk about it much, but he actually designed the 1992 addition to the Guggenheim, which he insists, “really didn’t take that long.” When not keeping things running at the shop, he enjoys riding his dirt jumper, spending time with his family, and transcribing episodes of Seinfeld.
Satellite, Chief Executive OfficerFormerly of Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption, Satellite’s history in high finance is well-documented in Lee Iacocca’s Where Have all the Leaders Gone.
Stella, Chief Security OfficerFormerly of savinggracenc.org, Stella can be seen keeping attentive watch over 9th street from her office window at Durham Cycles’ corporate headquarters.
