I enjoyed this little film.


I enjoy my King Cages too.

Thanks Marty. I had no idea these were all hand made.

I ordered a lowering cage for my Saluki as I needed a bit more clearance from the TT. For some reason it did not sit straight and the bottle hit my leg.  I called and Ron was very helpful explaining he had a few like this and how I could fix it.  2 minutes or less in a vice and a large screwdriver to move it to the other side and all is good.  Nice products, great made in USA.

As soon as Lucky Duck Bicycle Cafe in Oakland Chinatown reopened for foot traffic during a COVID lull, I hustled in and bought three King cages for my Trek 720. I knew they'd need any sales they could get, having been closed for everything but repairs for over a year. I knew they stocked the cages at the same price King charges on their website (they went up from $18 to $20 during the pandemic, for the same reasons everything got more expensive), so it was a chance to buy a well-made product and throw a little money a local retailer's way.

Lucky Duck is also a retail outlet for Ruthworks Bags; I met Eli Rodriguez there once, when he was running some kind of shop sale of a bunch of bags. LD also stocks Rene Herse tires at MSRP; if I'm paying retail instead of buying used tires, I buy from them. Again, the manufacturer gets their money, the retailer gets a sale, the retailer gets a chunk taken out of their minimum required order from the manufacturer, and it encourages the retailer to keep stocking the products I use.

At the Framebuilders show in Denver, Ron had his workbench and was making cages. He had the biggest crowd watching of any booth at the show. Steve
