Billy

William “Billy Spaceman” Bleichner has been a mechanic for, advisor to and friend of the bicycle industry for his entire adult life. Billy enjoys (at his own pace mind you) most every discipline of cycling. You can find him riding anywhere from the dirt to the oval, and all roads in between. Billy first started turning wrenches professionally in 1997, and has since honed his skills in the finest shops in bike friendly cities such as San Francisco, Portland Oregon, Melbourne Australia, and Reno Nevada (hey, it was good enough for Greg Lemond!). He enjoys coffee, extoling Merckx, a thoughtful wheel build, and discussion of all these things and more. As a natural progression in his career, he has now landed as service manager in the best shop, in the best city in America, and he reports to be loving every minute of it.
