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.
Todd: Manager, Cyclocross ExpertAfter developing a method for solid phase peptide synthesis in the 1980s, Todd turned to racing and baking to relieve stress. Todd’s time on the bike is limited by his ongoing suit against the Girl Scouts of America, who, he claims, stole his recipe for Thin Mints. While not in the shop, Todd can be found racing cyclocross or in the patent section of the Duke Law Library.
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.
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.
