And we’re back! Apologies for the loss of service there for a day or so – apparently a database problem with the host, but resolved now. Thanks to everyone who let me know the website was down. In unrelated but similar news, English Cycles itself was out of service for 24 hours – 7″ of very wet snow here in Eugene on Tuesday night took a lot of trees down and with it our power. Fortunately we have a wood stove for heat and cooking, so it was actually kind of fun to take a day off and relax in front of the fire. But all up and running again today.
Here are some pictures of the latest frame that just shipped out. One of the lightest I have built at 1258g, it is mostly True Temper S3 tubing. External cabling with headtube mounted adjusters for easy fine tuning (and in this case, the ability to run an adjuster-less mtb rear derailleur for alpine gearing when required). Matte black to match an Enve 1.0 fork, with a Chris King headset joining the two together.
