Great minds, great things

Some friends of mine in the bike business are entering a fun part of the year.  Preparing 2010 product for catalogs, launches, and marketing.

Granted, if you work in marketing, this means you're knee deep in lots of crap and you probably need to spend 22 hours of the day getting the work done in the allotted time.  But still, once again finding myself outside looking in, it's hard not to wish I were there doing the same.

Check out the Raleigh Facebook group for some photos of some stylish new rigs coming your way next year.  There's some sexy new carbon, elegant city bikes, and a darn spiffy lugged steel road bike sporting 2010 Ultegra gear.

MasiGuy is back up to his marketing brilliance spending time in Minnesota with actual Masi owners working on his next catalog iteration.  How they survive a twice-a-year product cycle is beyond me.

And check out Swobo for all their cool beans stuff.  A recent addition is the new 3Wrencho tool from Portland Design Works.

Either way, you can see these folks' fine works by checking the links on the right side of this page.  Have a good Friday everyone!

And good luck to all my friends in the bike business ramping things up for 2010!
