NAHBS Great seeing the few of you I recognized (!) at the NAHBS. I think the "H" needs to be deleted -- come on, Shimano?!? Mavic?!? Also, the "NA" -- plenty of non-USA stuff there. I'm not complaining -- I thought most of what I saw there was great. Special mention (by me) to Shamrock -- their website is "lugoftheIrish"! Also a local SF framebuilder, "Rafael" -- interesting guy -- despite the carbon fork!
Anybody else notice how many wheels have disc brakes? And the Wheel Fanatyx building/truing stand. Impressive -- and expensive at $2k! A bit disappointed in the register of the fancy gauges, though. They measure down to .1mm -- DTSwiss measure down to .01mm, and the stand costs less than half. My camera died before I could take any photos, so please keep posting them! And one final note -- I saw Jon Grant (illustrator -- who, by the way, designed the "Hands on Wheels" logo) -- recently lost his 5-year-old son Auggie to Leukemia. He's marketing his drawings, prints and T-shirts to raise money for pediatric cancer research. He told me Joe Bartoe has his stuff on his site. PLEASE BUY HIS STUFF. He's an incredibly wonderful guy -- and it's a good cause! Rich -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
