COW BELLS, PIT BOOTS

Winter came early. One day it was in the low 90's, and the next day snowing and mid 40's. That is Idaho. We have a saying around here "if you don't like the weather wait 24 hours". This rather rapid temperature change caused quite the scramble amongst the cross racer's - myself included. I had to get a bike done and out the door so the rider could get some time on it before the series started. It turned out great. Availability on fork's and a delay in the paint job really slowed things down, but we remained patient and ended up with a snazzy bike. Truly custom with a sweet combination of parts. I am real happy to see the enthusiasm for cross bikes. They are a lot of fun to build and even more fun to ride.

Next, on the list is to finish up our carbon frame. It will be a winter long project getting it just right. I have changed a couple of things on how we are going to build them so as a result I am staying focused on the development of our carbon - taking my time and testing the process. There is a simpler way of building them, but that would just not be my style. I think I enjoy torturing myself when it comes to developing products.

I still have a full platter building bikes. A couple of last minute cross bikes, and customers looking to have the bikes by early spring. We will also be helping with some prototyping and development of a bike line. More on that later. Right now I have to go dig out the cowbell's and find some pit boots for my kid's. It's RACING time!
