He was not, however, primarily a bike builder. A small quibble perhaps, but he was selling bikes made out east and shipped by rail into Portland. Nevertheless, he is indeed one of the most colorful characters in Portland's history! He served on City Council and, as Shawn says, was an early fan of "keep Portland weird" sentiment.
