Improvements/Study
Jpeg light is getting lighter. (in testing stages, but soon to be in production.)
New pins for the JC pedal, so its is easier to remove damaged pins, without stripping the thread in the pedal body. (Running change, will not show up for a few months)
For those of you who think a light stem won’t hold, check out the wedges I am running. Magnesium wedges and Titanium bolt/nut. 6.8oz total stem weight. (strictly a design study, not intended for mass production and WILL NOT be made available. The cost is outrageous, sorry)

Bent Frame Spotting
*This article first appeared in Ride UK (#83) and is reproduced here by kind permission of Ride UK.
When the ancient Egyptians were laying out the great pyramid at Giza over four and a half thousand years ago they had little more than bits of wood and string to help them lay it out. And yet they got all four sides bang on the four compass points and the lengths of the sides accurate to better than 0.1%. Time has taken its toll on the outer skin but it is still dead square and straight…
