Thanks Herbert,

I sometimes need a reminder to go to the front page,

Great interview (from Tim) with Siri Lindley as well.

Amazing how hard it is to find coverage of this. Beautiful bikes.

It’s too bad that so many of the builders have such long wait times. As much as I would love to buy one of their steel or ti beauties, it seems like the wait times are even more obscene than the prices.

A Trek Madone 7-series frame is $4400. If I was going to drop that kind of cash, I would much rather have a bike made by someone whom I know by their first name.

The BME “stealth bomber” was not quite my taste, but I appreciate the craftsmanship, the Argonaut though was just pure beauty, loved the show in general and getting to talk to so many folks in person.

Everyone is very approachable at that show. I personally was stealth without a slowtwitch t-shirt or other insignia.
