10K+ views of my Smoked Out thread at vsalon. Woot!

Yeah, I'm pretty psyched. I started my Smoked Out thread at Velocipedesalon back in April, and 10,000 views later it's still going strong. It's been a great conversation so far. Please join in!

In other news, here's the Mastercam image of the 44 tooth outer Campagnolo CT chainring. Pinned and ramped for your pleasure. Kerry is machining up some of the first 38 tooth rings and these will be next on the CNC. With any luck, these will be on the bike I am displaying in the TRP Brakes booth at Interbike in Vegas three weeks from now. Exciting stuff!

Finally, I'm working feverishly on the lugs and BBs for the round of 4 Max bikes I have coming up next. I'll be hustling to get photos of the castings up by the end of the week. Hey, thanks for reading.

Hey crossers, you wanted options? You're about to get options.

Remember the good old days when you could actually pick and choose chainrings at will? You'll soon be able to relive those days. I'll be starting with a line of Campy CT compatible and standard 110 bcd. More details to come. Here's a sneak peak at the 38 inner for Campy CT.

Road machine ready for take off

Mr. Anderson took Brian's vision of creating a tribute to his Grandfather's flying career and executed a stunning paint job. My lackluster photo skills don't do it justice. It's getting built up with Force and some sweet hand-built wheels. Complete build photos coming...

Thank you, Brian!
