003 :: Busy Week
Posted: 2010.02.24
Tom's road bike is just about finished. It needs a brake bridge installed and then frame construction will be complete. After that, it'll need some prep work and decals and it will be ready to ship.
I've had most of the hardware for Jon's 29er for months. I'm still waiting on a few fixture parts and a custom 150mm dummy axle from Anvil and I'll be able to get started. I'm extremely excited about this bike, and a new 29er for me that I'll be building at the same time. Both of these bikes will showcase a new product and I couldn't be more excited to finally get this out in the open.
I'm taking off for NAHBS this Friday and won't be available until Monday morning. I'm looking forward to seeing some old friends and meeting some builders with whom I've only had phone and email conversations.
002 :: New Product Soon
Posted: 2010.02.23
I can't post details yet but I've been working on a product for over a year that's going to have an impact on the small and mid-sized builder community. I currently have four bikes in progress that incorporate this new component and I'll be honest, I'm very excited. Details soon.
001 :: Vertigo Cycles Officially Has a Blog
Posted: 2009.11.30
I've been putting this off for years but here it is - the Vertigo blog. As always, there is much going on and I'm going to make a solid attempt to add meaningful content. I'll use this space to give the occasional customer update despite that it's already fairly well documented on Flickr and via email. I'll also use it to present technical information from time to time in an effort to further educate customers, potential customers and like minded nerds. As soon as I can figure it out, I'll get an RSS feed on here too.
Coming soon...welding setup information and equipment breakdown. Also...thoughts on Rohloff and the belt drive setup.
