Always one of my favorite booths, Paragon is known as the finest supplier of building components to the frame building industry. But this time I had to walk right past the one of a kind titanium lawn bench and just laugh out loud at the garbage bike. Yep, it's badge proudly proclaimed it to be build-up of scrape, discarded and recycled materials.

Franco Romano was the guy that smoothched the gunk all together, I wonder where he baked it off? Mark Norstad of Paragon just smiled and said get a good close-up. So remember to pick up those random pieces of carbon fiber on the side of the trail. If you save a big enough bag, who knows what you might make.
