The MADE Show was fantastic. So glad to see so many inspired builders of frames and wheels!
Have you noticed that nearly every shipment from us comes with a postcard? One side is an interesting image. The backs are logo's of products we carry. They're sent out randomly but now you can specify which one you get by including a note during checkout.
Cockwise, from top left.
Coppi—Fausto, the biggest presence in all of Italian cycling. Unknown origin, but a few years back someone claiming extensive Coppi image expertise told me they had never seen this one.
Wheel Guy—taken from Bicycle Repairing (S.D.V. Burr, 1896). In the book, the caption is "Fig 1. Assembling a wheel."
Wheel Stand—Don't try this alone!
Still Life—a soothing assemblage of old time tools and bits, described here.
Thank You—image by Jennifer Jerde for Wheelsmith about 1993.
True Hand—image of my hand by Max Ralph for a bike mechanics group in 2018.
Mechanic Angel—from a 1997 USA Cycling annual report.
Have an image that deserves to be in this funny assortment? Let us know!
