Minnecycle and More…

Due to my workload at the office and my wedding preparations, I am likely end up in a position where I am unable to make it to Minnecycle this year. The 29′er is further behind the curve than I’d like, and as a result, I don’t think I’ll be able to get it into a paint booth with enough time to be ready for the show. A little frustrating, but I am unwilling to cut corners on it in order to get it in front of eyeballs.

What I’m opting to do instead is to get the 29′er and the commuter done-up right, along with the other a few other projects I have kickin’ around in boxes, and take them to NAHBS in Austin in 2011. It’s certainly nothing against Minnecycle, mind you — Erik Noren runs a fantastic show, and it’s something I’m very much looking forward to showing at come summer of 2011.

So what I’m hoping to take to NAHBS 2011 is:

• the fully-rigid 29′er
• the lugged commuter bike
• the track bike
• the Bridgestone XO-1 tribute I’m building for Jim Oliver
• my personal singlespeed belt drive road bike
