Cool video on Carl Strong

This was a fun watch this morning with coffee.

Silent chuckle/smile when watching .. "Hey. That sorta sounds like me."

Very nice video. Interesting they kept showing a Pursuit frame which is made by a larger team than just Carl and Loretta. Not really a one man/one frame sort of deal. They really should have showed the frames he actually makes himself in that garage or at least made some comments on that new enterprise and how it differs from his day to day work.

There's a great podcast/interview of him and his wife in which he talks about his business in much more detail, and explains how he came about making ready made carbon fiber. I learned about it last year on this forum, but have no bookmark. Maybe somebody can bring that back?

Edit: Found it. It says part 1, so part 2 should be near.

Excellent links - thx! A racer friend of mine sold me his steel mixed tube set (Columbus/Dedaccia) fully built ride this past spring and I can attest to the quality and feel - love it!

Such an excellently produced video. I hope it serves Carl's business well.

Thanks for posting that.
For me, it's a bunch of great content statements, in a mediocre interview, which itself may be relevant meta-content.
