O.R. Trade Show
August already? Wow, where has the summer gone? It has been a great year so far. Outdoor Retailer is this coming weekend and we will not be attending this year, but Kelson will......thanks to Gheen and Bryce. Nathan packs will be displaying a Kelson bike in their booth this year. It will be holding product and getting a lot of great exposure. Outdoor Retailer is where orders are written, new accounts are found, connections are made and brands are launched. Outdoor Retailer has proven to be the leading growth vehicle for brands that are interested in progressing and advancing into multiple channels of the outdoor marketplace. From small shops and regional chains, to the largest national and international retailers - OR attracts thousands of buyers and senior level decision makers that are looking for outdoor specific products, services, brands, fresh ideas, apparel launches, and outdoor innovation. Can't wait to hear the response. Also, the new site will be up and functional by Saturday or Sunday. Here is a test page of what to expect.

JULY FRAME BUILDING
July was a busy month for frame building, training, and racing. It sure went by fast! August is here and snow is right around the corner. 
I don't know how excited I am about the summer ending, but hopefully Mother Nature will give us another couple good riding months. Here are a few pics of the new bikes that were built recently. We are stoked about the website coming August 9th. A special thanks to our good friend Gheen Hillman who has worked so hard on the design. 
All of you riders out there need to mark your calendars for next years Capitol Reef Classic. What an AMAZING race/ride it was. Here is the link http://www.capitolreefclassic.com/

Finally
Finally it is summer. That had to be the craziest winter I have ever seen. Idaho is a strange weather place. One day it is snowing the next thing you know it is ninety degrees outside.
I have been quite sick for some time. Suffering from some type of sinus infection. But after some good quality antibiotics I am feeling a lot better. I have been riding my bike a fair amount. Trying to get in reasonable condition after over a year of very little exercise, due to work and moving my family. I have a stage race planned in July called the Capitol Reef Classic in southern Utah. It is in my family's home town and I am looking forward to it. I am not looking forward to the 100 mile stage up fish lake mountain. It will travel through some of the most challenging terrain I have ever seen offered in a north American bike race. I just hope to survive.
I have been plugging along building some nice titanium bikes. I will also be working on a tig welded steel track bike. Any takers? I do not think I will be able to use it myself since I live on a dirt road. I am currently working on a new titanium/Carbon fiber bike. I hope to ride it myself at the race in July. Usually when I build one of these bikes. A friend of similar proportions will ride it and want to purchase it from me. That is why I always seem to be riding the same steel bike I have been on for the past five years. I don't mind I love that bike. There is nothing like the ride of steel. Often people ask me what the best material is for building a bike. I usually tell them that they are all good, it just depends on the bike and its purpose. But my favorite material for a nice road bike is steel. They are not usually surprised and will tell me about an old steel bike that they wish they had never sold. Well I will post some new pictures of some current build real soon. The fishing has been phenomenal here in Ashton so If anyone gets a chance come on over and we will drowned a few bugs.
