little update
Sorry for the lack of updates, but…
Jim B has been on vacation in some remote part of the world.
G-Sport George is in town from merry old England. He and Chris are taking care of business.
Ben and I have been trying to figure out how to work a camera.
sooo….check a sample sneak peak at the Aitken seat detail with “aitken” and “odsy” embossed onto the cover.
More real news soon.
RIBCAGE UPDATE
Unfortunately, we have bad news.
For everyone that has been emailing, the first production batch of RIBCAGE rims that just arrived is not on par with the final samples that we received and that people are testing, so we’re scrapping them all.
These things happen from time to time and it’s obviously frustrating for us, but we’re not going to release them until the delivery meets our standards.
Hopefully we will receive more within a month and half’s time.
we apologize for the delay.

“ACQUIRED” WOOD
Noel Campbell, who is in iraq, had sent me an email inquiring about the release date of the Wombolt cranks. I had happened to ask “how was it over there?”, and he replied with what you would expect, “it’s tough” etc…
but…He also mentioned that he was able to build a ramp out there (over time) with some “acquired” wood, all by himself. I will let the photos speak for themselves. You gotta respect that.
Hopefully we will get some riding pictures soon..

Wheel Fiddling
*This article first appeared in Ride UK (#91) and is reproduced here by kind permission of Ride UK.
This month I want to continue where I left off last time. If you remember I had just finished assembling the worlds most garish wheel, a lovely little rear 48, laced 4 cross and interlaced under the third. But there is a lot more to wheel building than just putting the parts together in the right order. Wheels are very simple, they may look a bit complex, but like all the best ideas they have been with us so long because they are simple and work. Unlike the Government (which seems to think that it makes more sense to continue to pour money into a disastrous policy of smashing apart the very building blocks of the universe to get energy rather than make a small effort to pioneer profitable technology to harvest some of the freely available energy around us in the waves, wind and sun) we can make the most of this simple technology by putting in just a little more effort.
