so guess who just found out that they're goingto the North American Hand Made Bicycle Show ?? Yippie - hot damn, holy shit ! So the agenda is as follows. Brian and Sam Hall from Ramblumtick cycles out of missoula will drive down and hook up with myself...we'll load up the VW van and head down to Idaho Falls to meet up with Rob M. from Felt Racing. Rob's got a kickin' conversion van that we'll pile into and then we're taking off for Californ-i-a. San Jose...never been there, but am excited as heck (ll). I really feel that the small builders within the states are putting out the most progressive products in the world and we feel damn fortunate to witness it all. To think that the best frame builders in the world past and present will be there and so will we, rubbing elbows...documenting it all on behalf of the red barn blog.

Steve potts !! Waterford !! Titus !! Erikson !! Bruce Gordon !! Vanilla !! Sycip !! Damn, the list goes on and on. make sure you go to the link and check it out for yourself.....i haven't been this excited since i recieved a Titus Exogrid just a week ago. But that's a different story and a soon to be blog update : )


But guess what ...it gets even better.


Sanjose is only 1 and a half hour away from Ventana's HQ's in Rancho Cordova and Sherwood Gibson, designer, builder, welder, painter extraordinare has already confirmed that he'll be giving us the full-on monte tour. Damn, i just wet myself.



Last but not least...the crew. If you have time please spend a minute or two at Sam Hall's site. He's crafting beautiful frames for folks who like to ride. Maybe he can put his torch to use for you ? ? Check'um Ramblumtick



over and out ! Chad
