Fred's Micro Shop

Fred, one of the mechanics who used to work with me at the Bicycle Center in Santa Cruz sent me this nice shot of his home bicycle shop, which he calls his micro shop. He mentions that the bench is made by Torin and that he ordered it from Amazon.com for a couple of hundred bucks. Also, the workbench is on casters so he can tuck the whole micro shop out of the way when he needs to make space. He plans to add some fold-out wings to the toolboard to add tool space at some point, and to build a wall bench once he removes an old furnace. Notice that Fred keeps the setup as compact as possible by attaching his Park repair and truing stands to the ends of the bench.
