Looking back: the custom painted Campagnolo hubs for the Ride Studio Cafe Giro Bike made by Seven Cycles. May, 2010.

Wednesday location:  Seven  |  Studio     ||     7:40 am – 6:20 pm – [FF Ride] – 8:30 pm – 12:10 am

  • Quote of the day:  John L. said:  “When you need something, you make something.”  Summarizing the Seven Cycles ethos.  I think that’s a pretty decent statement.
  • Engineering:  Working with Skip on a new fixture system for Seven Cycles 622 fixture 2.0 project.  Concept agreed upon – that’s the hard part.  now onto making the test fixture.  I’m thinking 66% success odds.
  • Design:  Finally making progress on the Fall Five trophies.  Design complete. Fabrication beginning.  Looking for parts – there’s a reason it’s called, “found art.”
  • Product Design – Retro:  Ride Studio Cafe is working on a project that includes the Giro Bike Seven Cycles made in 2010.  It reminded me of how much fun that project was.  Check it.
  • Ride:  Did Stage Three of the Ride Studio Cafe’s Fall Five event.  I survived, but just barely.  It ain’t easy for me to climb on my bike at the end of the day.  And I realized tonight that I have to do two stages tomorrow – somehow.  Originally I thought I could do the final stage on Friday but that isn’t going to happen – with everything else going on.
