ORME dot TV

At the EHBE pictures taken by the Italian Orme.tv blog. They borrowed some of my bikes and took some great pictures in the park right outside the venue.



Have a look at ORME dot TV. It is in Italian but the pictures are great. I am proud to have one of my bikes in the ORME garage. Also have a look at the rest of the garage. It´s worth a look.

enjoy!

6 speed cassette

At the EHBE I had a 6 speed set up on the build off bike. It used a Hope SS hub and the 6 largest cogs out of an Ultegra cassette. To make it all run smooth I needed to take a bit of material of the back of the cassette. I finally had some time to make it happen. And since I will have to ride the bike soon, I am glad I got in done.

single piece bar/stem

I planned to bring a bunch of single piece bar stems to the EHBE to sell. But circumstances made it impossible to finish them in time (or even to start making 'em).



I have two shapes: Boomerang and Northroad. The Northroad can be used two ways, upright and upside down. I will make the stems in several lengths and angles. If you are interested let me know what you want length and angle wise so I can make sure I have one for you. Because I plan to make only one batch.

missing @ 2010 EHBE

After exhibiting at the 2009 EHBE I was looking forward to meeting a lot of people again in 2010. This year a lot of the same faces and a lot of new faces where at the show. And as in 2009 I had a great time. One of the people that didn't return for 2010 was Karl from Yasec bikes (Hungary).
I was very happy meeting him at the 2009 show. I hadn't seen many pictures of his bikes through the years and it had been a few years since I saw the last. His bikes have always inspired me to design and build better bicycles.
I hope he is there next year, because I like looking at his bikes.

Ecovelo dot info

I am a fan of the ECOVELO blog. I try to read it every day. It is filled with information about car free living (I am not there yet, and lickely never will) which is of great interest to me. The American way of car free life is not the Dutch way, but the information is still very usefull. As it should be for anyone around the world.

Have a look at:
