Let's see if this works!

We'll try a new post and see how it goes. Just to catch up with the last weeks or so worths of news. The Industry 9 wheels came in (2-3 weeks AHEAD of schedule) and we got #19 all built up and it looks great. The gold wheels, headset and seat collar really blend nicely with the gold fleck on the black paint. Pictures are now up on the Gallery page.

New T-shirts are shipping on Tuesday so we should have them close to the end of next week or beginning of the next. Can't wait!

The next batch of frames should be hitting any day now. Two are going to Russ for paint and 3 are heading here to the shop. One of the Russ bikes will be done in a pink/white 3 panel team splatter (with 20" wheels) and the other will be purple with hot rod flames. Those will be sweet! The three that we have coming to the shop will be raw so we can get them finished in your choice of colors!

We have been working on the Pugsley prototype details. I have received some of the parts and built up the front wheel which found its way onto the Nontrager. I rode it last night and it was pretty cool. There is one sandy area that I just floated right through.

We've been cleaning out the attic and put a dozen or so bikes for sale on the First Flight Bikes web site. There are a couple of duplicate bikes or ones that are a little more pieced together on there. They would make a nice vintage ride though!

We sold one of our vintage Mountain Goat frames to Scant in England and he is sending it to Russ for the California Yuppie paint.

That'a about it for now. We'll see if this new format is going to work and if so, I'll make it the default.
