Here is our crew for NAHBS 08. Besty [my partner], Marty [my book keeper], Howard [my good friend from my cross country trip in 89] and yours truly.
Everything went well and this was a low stress trip [thanks to everyones help]. We had a wonderful time and met many great people that wanted too see ANT bikes in person. Portland was nice and it was great to see Howard and his family [we have stayed in touch all this time].
On our way back Betsy and I were delayed in Chicago and did not get home until 3:30am on Tuesday. I ended up taking another day off, due to the snow [shoveled for 3 hours of wet snow and then the cold rain all day at 35o]. I will get in tomorrow and get back to it on Mark’s frame.
There is a lot to talk about with NAHBS, but I am too beat to write. I will try and come up with some news later after I get some work done!
Mike,
Sweet bikes again this year! Hope to see you in 09 at Indy!

mike. wished we could have had coffee or something but oh well. had a strange social hangover for a day and a half after the show. back to work and living the dream. thanks for all the inspiration for building bikes to ride. it makes me want a tig set up, bad.
Hey Mike, thanks for speaking in the “City Bikes” seminar @ NAHBS. I was sitting in the front with Val Kleitz and Aaron Goss: it was a good panel and I wanted to express my appreciation for your contribution to the panel and to bicycling in general. It sounds like you had a hellish ride home.
Keep up the good work and I hope to see you at next year’s event! BTW, I love my ANT beanie: I’ve been wearing it as my main under-helmet head warmer since I bought mine at NAHBS in 2006.
