Ritchey Road Team
Staying with the Ritchey theme this week, it’s a little known fact that Ritchey was very involved in the U.S. road scene in the early ‘90’s, and had a bad-ass road team, as well as sponsoring a couple others (more on those soon). That’s right, 10-speed racers. This one came about though a call from […]
Thomas Frischknect’s First Day in America
Here is Thomas Frischknect on his first day in America, March 1990. As the team manager, I had all his new Team Ritchey bikes and kit laid out and ready for him. As soon as Thomas saw all the swag he jumped into his kit and posed for this shot like a pig in shit. […]
333fab NAHBS 2016
Maxwell Kullaway built hundreds of frames for Seven before starting 333fab in 2007. His shop is just a few blocks from my office. I really need to drop by one of these days. Anyway, he brought some cool stuff to the show, check out more pics after the jump!
Sycip NAHBS 2016
Jeremy Sycip has been building bikes since he dropped out of art school in the early 90s. He has a unique, playful style backed up with years of exprience. More pics after the jump!
Soulcraft NAHBS 2016
Sean Walling built me an awesome Grasshopper two years ago, which is still my main ride. So it was cool to finally meet him in person. I love Sean’s no-nonsense approach to building bikes. More pics after the jump!
Schnozola NAHBS 2016
Talked to Paul Sadoff for a while at the show. Super cool guy. He built a fork for me two years ago for my Ritchey Breakaway road frame and now just finished building me a gravel/rain bike. Anyway, lots of cool flavors of the Schnozola, which he is doing with fellow legend Bruce Gordon. More pics […]
New Slim Chance Frameset
When the first Slim Chance arrived on the scene in 1991 I was still working in bike shops. It was one of the first “production” tig welded steel frames on the market, and I loved the no-nonsense approach. Back then I preferred the more laid back Eddy Merckx Century geometry, so I didn’t get one […]
