Fastboy

I've been reading Fastboy's Blog for about two years.  I stumbled across it looking at beautiful bikes and photography.  After poking around for a bit is saw he was a native Vermonter and quickly fell into his story.  He's a young fellow, healthy and athletic.  He seems to be doing everything right and then he get's cancer.  His blog follows him through the process of his treatment and eventual relapse.  Now he has beaten back the beast for a second time and has turned his energies back to building bikes and damn beautiful pieces of art at that.  Here is his latest offering which I saw on his site and then on a few others.
