Winter Bicycles

Wow. Was wearing it around here and in a bike shop (of course) and one of the employees actually recognized it and even knew your name and gave you props!

Whoa. That's pretty cool! You're getting known even down in these parts.

A couple of months ago John Watson (of Prolly is Not Probably) checked in about the show this weekend- he had some new chain rings he and AARN cooked up. I mentioned that I wasn't going, but that I had a cool project bike that needed a final kick in the pants to get it finished, and setting a hard deadline was a great way to do it.

Sometimes great things come out of a simple phone call.





The full photo gallery can be seen here, and Prolly takes a look over at PiNP.

I just received a little package from Brooks- this years "The Bugle".

Inside is a nice little feature on "Builds of Distinction". Leading them out? The Winter Bicycles M1918.

Look for it with this years saddles and accessories. Thanks, Brooks!

Congrats Eric!!

Thanks! It was a great was to cap off the Friday opener!

After the awards they set some of the exhibitors up with a track session. Lee Valley is a beautiful facility, and I guess it has quite the waiting list for class sessions. They were running laps all weekend, and it was great to see the depth of the development and amateur programs!

No rest for the wicked- gearing up for another trip down to SF! Pop in, say hello, and check out some new Pelican and Winter bicycles (including a couple for sale)!

These are some process shots from a new all-road bike, the Consano. It'll cure what ails ya:

















Full set here.

I'll keep this one updated as it goes through paint and becomes a "real bike".

Some more raw shots for folks that dig that stuff-

Started a Tool crit bike and the first song to come on was "Hammer of Heaven". Set the tone for a full on metal pound fest. Felt some stars align today.

Ditto, though William Jr. liked it so much he absconded with it!

I'm open to suggestions. Blue was the far and away best selling shirt for me (ever). Open to ideas though!

Doesn't make much difference, but how about:

black with white robot - your patch colors

white with black robot - your website colors

orange with black robot - I like orange



Whatever it is, please make sure it's the exact same shirt. That thing is comfortable and does not shrink in the dryer.

Eric's shirt is awesome.
I also have the hat, in winter version. Both get a lot of compliments.
