1. if you are a dad, it sux for you. my daughter not only accompanied me, and a raggedy ass band of pirates to the show, she rocked it so hard that the guys from reynolds tubing - the very people who INVENTED the stuff that made sweet handmade bicycles possible were so impressed with her knowledge and appreciation of their product they reached into their display of ultrafine tubings and gave her some. can your little girl do that ?? didn't think so.
2. downtown crits on loose pave in the heart of the surprisingly vibrant downtown indy was too fun to describe.
3. nipponese guys like my rivendell.
4. ellis cycles is the up&comer of the handmade industry, period.
5. do not spend more $ for a production bike than these guys charge for what they do, and had on display. hell on earth, indeed. this show rocked.
6. rapha cycling clothing and/or embrocation magazine showed a video of a half-dozen guys guys suffering thru the ToC route a few days before the event that was so beautiful it made you want to to ride yourself into the ground. watch for that magazine, out soon.
7. what a show.
8. OK, i stole a pic of MK and me from amy D, who is a person it is always nice to bump into at bike stuff for nigh on 25 years or so:
oddly, rick, the-other-tim, russell, me and the girl never did ask anybody to snap a pic of all of us - that was stupid.

Rumour has it that MK's tube is on it's way to Colorado to be used in a jr high shop project.
