- Happy Memorial Day. . . hope you have fun memorializing. . . .
- Summer has come to Austin. . . those who say "finally" either live in A/C or are insane. . . as for me, I say "Let's move to Saskatoon." Not only is it way cooler, but who can't get behind a city whose flag promotes "Commerce, Industry, [and] Education?"
- More time should be spent in the shop in the coming months, and we're already ahead of our personal timelines for certain projects. . . one of which is
- STEMS! Yep, as I mentioned awhile back we would be making stems, not just for fun, but for PROFIT!! That time has come, and all for the low low price of $150. That'll get you a custom length stem similar to the one pictured (1 1/8" steerer, 1 1/4" bar clamp, custom length and rise). All 4130 steel with the exception of the faceplate which is 6061 aluminum.
Powdercoats beside black and other deviations from the norm can be done, but there will be an up-charge (contact us for details). While I didn't weigh this one, I'm fairly certain it's on par with a Thomson, so you may be saving a few grams PLUS you can get it in that so hard to find 153.713229 length that you need to complement the 95mm headtube on your Golden Ratio bike. PLUS PLUS look at how good it looks just doing its job!!!
- June is National "Update your Business's Website Month" and in that vain we have recently hired someone to do just that. My eyes bleed eye blood whenever I check my email so we thought it best to find someone who knows what they're doing behind a keyboard. Look for us to let you know when it's actually done here on this blog as what we have now is so out of date I can't even laugh about it. (NOTE: it's worth a peek if you wanted to know what websites looked like during the Ford Administration, so for all you high schoolers wrapping up your term papers on "The History of the Internet," feel free to use our site as a primary source. . . just be sure to print out pictures on the dot matrix currently being used as your bathroom step stool).
