Speed Metal!!!!!!!!! (Optional Soundtrack by Testament)* CRANK IT and check out the slide show below! After a few weeks of working in secret, I’m ready to unleash a new track weapon, ready to open Hell on Pista! Pure fury! Full description to follow, but for now enjoy having your mind blown with the 50 image slide show and Flickr update. *thanks to Andrew for helping this SCREAM

Time to get pretty! Hand printed, organic cotton t’s printed with environmentally friendly inks. Brown with bright blue- Green with plum- There is also a brown with navy printing for a more subtle effect- unfortunately the blue looks really bright when photographed. And a new run of Winter Bicycles cycling caps by Paula Deer- hand made in Portland with reclaimed Pendelton wool. Bright green logo embroidery matc

Just a quick note- In addition to the fantastic headsets available from Chris King, I am also choosing to offer select FSA (such as this ceramic bearing Extreme Pro) and Cane Creek headsets (including the beautiful 110 and the new 1″ threaded and threadless 100 Classics!). Precision components integrated in your custom ride, now with more options to best meet your specific needs.

I’m ready for my close up. That clip is a pretty good overview of the San Diego booth, as well as two fun bikes blog readers may be familiar with. Thanks to the MTBR/ Road Bike Review guys for stopping and and chatting. Who knew I was the gesticulation king? Or that I was so short? Here is another shot from Erik Kowalski as well. Fun stuff in the hopper! Keep checking in to see whats a-brewin’!

Now that I’m back and had a day to relax (and by relax I mean work) I thought I’d post up a little overview of the trip- First up, some road shots: Dropping into Southern Oregon Mt Shasta- the gateway to California I spent the morning running internal wiring, wrapping handlebar tape and loading the the Winter bike-wagon, finally shoving off at a fairly late noon. After a good 8 hours on the road I decided

After about 8 doughnuts, 4 cups of coffee, 2 bean burritos, 1 really great Indian meal (Indian Palace, Medford, OR) and about 900 miles in close to 17 hours in the truck we are finally (FINALLY!) home! The show and the people were great! I’m pretty wiped, and I have a full day tomorrow so I’m off to bed. Look for a show report ASAP! Thanks to everyone who made it down, and thanks for the patience as I use

A few hour later then planned, but I’d headed out the door! Off to the San Diego Custom Bicycle Show. I expect my internet access to be spotty, but I’ll post some pictures when I get back. Hope to finally meet some of the California blog followers! And we’re off…..
