Location Friday: Seven | Studio || 7:55 am – 8:40 pm
- Quote of the day: “Seven rests perfectly at the intersection of handmade craft and NUMMI-esque efficiency. I find the way these ideals coexist at Seven truly interesting.”
- Time Marker: The Rapha NE Gentlemen’s Race short film is posted. It makes me want to ride. I noticed a few shots of the Ride Studio Cafe Team, the tandem team, and a some good friends on the Rapha women’s team. Rapha did a great job with the film and ride summary.
- Testing: Fatigue testing titanium: We’ve added annealed 3-2.5 titanium to the testing program. The primary reason for this is that I’m concerned about the extent to which annealed material is making it’s way into bikes. Annealed 3-2.5 titanium typically has a yield strength of about 70 ksi. Only about 60% of the strength of cold worked stress relieved – CWSR – 3-3.5 ti. Annealed material is kind of like building frames from 6061 aluminum or low grade 4130 steel.
- Graphic Design: Brochure 2013: In full force. High pace
- Note: Looking at a 1992 Bridgestone catalogue today. Remember that?
Post title is from a great book review that doesn’t really have anything to do with Christmas. Not for the squeamish.
