This year, NAHBS is taking place in Denver and lucky for me, it is only 1 hour's drive away. Much easier to get to than previous years.<br />
<br />
I will be showing 3 bikes, all from customers who recently took delivery of their bike and they all live along the front range of CO, so it is a great arrangement and I really appreciate my gracious customers in loaning their bike for the show.<br />
<br />
I hope to see some of you there.<br />

It is also a wonderful time of the year, happy thanksgiving everyone! With this wonderful review, it is a great start to my holiday season. I would like to thank everyone for their giving to my work, you know who you are. Have a great winter season and I hope to see you in Denver during the next NAHBS in Feb. 2013.<br />

<br />
We have just received our new style shirt, I hope you like it.<br />
<br />
Some may recognize the resemblance to a certain iconic bicycle tubing label and asks what is the story behind. Well, it has been a while since I have the idea and finally it is done. This is my interpretation to their iconic label with a lot of self-centric twists. Now, if big bike tubing will hold off their law suit it would be highly appreciated.<br />
<br />
Here is the story behind this shirt. I am sure the first thing most of you will notice would be the name above the numbers. It is very similar to bike tubing company's name and some of you would know that is my first name, and the <a href="http://yipsanbicycles.blogspot.com/2009/10/questions-i-got-asked.html" target="_blank">story</a> behind my first name too. So, that one is pretty simple to see. Now, why would it be 852, a seeming one digit difference to the iconic label? 852, is the area code of where I was born. If you don't know where that is, look it up, it is a wonderful place and maybe schedule a visit too. Lastly, instead of the wonderful tech details of that bike tubing, I have the wordings changed to represent my handmade bikes and my shop location. This shirt brings me a smile for my self absorbed cheekiness and I hope you enjoy it too. And maybe one day I will name my own custom blend of tubing with this too.<br />
<br />
To continue from my other shirts, I have chosen to print them on American Apparel base shirts. 100% cotton. Size from small all the way to 2XL. Well, only a few 2XL are left. Get yours <a href="http://www.yipsanbicycles.com/accessories.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

<br />
I would like to thank all the good folks that read the blog and contributed to Leigh's MS150 effort.<br />
<br />
There are sightings of my bikes on the current issues of a couple of magazines, Bicycle Times and Road Bike Action. Go check them out, both are nice almost full page coverage from NAHBS this past March.<br />

<br />
Here in the front range of Colorado, it is off to a not so good start. We have a wild fire here starting about a week ago and is still going. The smoke was bad on a few days when the wind was blowing it right at us. My home / shop is only a few miles from the east edge of this fire and I had worried that we may have to evacuate, but the great efforts of the firefighters had kept this east edge which is close to our town at bay. So, I don't think we have to evacuate now, but hope weather may ease off and not be like the forecast of this coming weekend.<br />
<br />
Well, I hope also, weather in your locale is more enjoyable.<br />
<br />
This year, Leigh is back to riding MS150 after not doing it last year while recuperating from her broken ankle. I think she is ready with regular training rides of the past weeks. I would like to help her, other than having her bike and riding accessories ready, to ask you to support with a donation to this great cause. The below is her words.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="p1">
I am cycling in the MS150 ride <a href="x-apple-data-detectors://0"><span class="s1">June 30</span></a>/July 1. This is my 3nd year riding in the Colorado MS150 and I will be riding with Team Sugar Bee.</div>
<div class="p1">
The ride is a 150-mile ride from the Denver area to Fort Collins and back. Completing the ride will be a means to help the National MS Society fund research, advocate for change and help people with MS and their families to lead powerful and productive lives. Multiple sclerosis affects people in the prime of their lives, between the ages of 20 and 50. Every hour someone is newly diagnosed and more than 2.5 million people worldwide live with this unpredictable disease.</div>
<div class="p1">
While participating in and completing the ride is a personal achievement, I find that fundraising is also of great importance. The money raised by this event will fund programs, research and services aimed at making life better for the more than 88,000 people in Colorado whose lives are affected by MS. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Please join me in the movement to do something about multiple sclerosis. I have set a fundraising goal of $1000.00 for this cause. A $50.00 donation provides an MS patient with two hours of in-home care. Donations are tax deductible and any amount will help in the fight against MS.</div>
<div class="p1">

<br />
It is NAHBS time again. We will be leaving early next week. The bikes are ready, except for packing them into the car!<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures I took, not teasers, I have decided to just let it out and if you want to see them live, do visit the show in Sacramento, CA. My booth number is 505.<br />
<br />
Hope to see you there.<br />

The morning went well and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/renold_y/sets/72157627582267525/">Bauhinia</a> is now held by the organizer until tomorrow's field test.
Here is a clip for the few rides we did before coming out here. Enjoy.

<br />
Summer has been great, it was never too hot this year, although the heat hung on longer until only about a week ago.<br />
<br />
I have been busy building and preparing for an upcoming event in Portland, more pictures to come!<br />
<br />
Our good friend, the Dotson family of <a href="http://www.facebook.com/people/Colorado-Wielersport-Gold-Sprints/100001741597634">Colorado Weilersport Gold Sprints</a>, put together a wonderful ride yesterday. Leigh and I were lucky enough to be amongst wonderful riders in this inaugural event. I sense that they will bring it to places outside of Fort Collins and allow more to experience the fun and awesomeness of this event.<br />
<br />
The cooler fall temperature was just perfect for a wool jersey and here is a slice of what happened to let you get a taste this ride. Enjoy!<br />

It took him some time to go through quite a quantity of tools that he inherited and realized he now has multiples of certain tools. The drill pictured above is one of them.</div><div><br /></div><div>Knowing that I use various hand tools building bikes, he offered me a selection of such tools for free. I appreciated such a nice gesture and took a few of them. The drill is now on my workbench with a drill bit mounted and ready at all times. This is an older drill but it feels a lot more solid in the hand, and the control is of higher quality than the one I have for the past 8 years.</div><div><br /></div><div>However, what I feel special about this drill is that it had so much history behind it. I do not know any of it, but I can see from its cosmetic condition that it had gone through quite a bit already. It is interesting to imagine what it might have achieved in its previous hands. I look forward to using it and add to its history; and wonder if one day someone will be riding one of my bikes and wonder about how it is made and where it had been to.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13840110893247477563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552483571860845056.post-37252593631228048592011-04-12T10:06:00.005-06:002011-04-12T10:27:37.287-06:00Ahh... warmthWinter was not bad this past season, but spring is definitely welcome.

This group, being organized by Mike of <a href="http://www.renehersebicycles.com/">Rene Herse</a>, was mostly aficionados of vintage steel bicycles and randonneur types. We rode our 650b rando / light touring bikes and received quite a few questions about this wheel size and the way my bike is equipped.<div><br /></div><div>Not that they have not heard of 650b, or not know of its benefits; rather most were still skeptical or held back by their existing 700c collection.</div><div><br /></div><div>I find this quite interesting because if you ask most of them, they appreciate the benefit of this wheel size, namely, being able to use wider tire but not be stuck with too big a wheel diameter (benefiical if you are under 6'). This wheel size is also particularly meaningful if you plan to not just use wider tires, but also put on fenders. With 700c, you would have to have a longer toptube if you were to avoid toe overlap.</div><div><br /></div><div>Some criticize that 650b wheels with bigger tires are slower. And I agree from my own experience that climbing with a 42mm tire will definitely be slower than ones with a 28mm tire. However, when you are descending and cornering, there is so much more confidence with the wider tire in lower pressure that the overall more enjoyable experience is well worth slowing down a bit. This critique of speed is especially interesting, because a lot of the people who use this reason says they are not really concerned about speed. They say 28mm tires are comfortable enough and they do not want to hold back their riding mates.</div><div><br /></div><div>Another question that I was asked a few times was if I am happy with disc brake on my bike. Again, most understand the benefit, but did not have their own bikes using disc brakes.</div><div><br /></div><div>These observations make me wonder, what does it take for these enthusiasts to change their existing stable of bikes? Be it adding a new bike that runs the equipment they claim to like, or be it adapting an existing bike, it seems they are stuck in tradition and status quo.</div><div><br /></div><div>Enough of my rambling, I will continue to promote 650b wheeled bikes (maybe with disc brakes too) to the right candidate, yes, it is not for everyone but for those who would benefit from it, I hate to see them lessen their enjoyment because it is easier to get tires at their LBS.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13840110893247477563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552483571860845056.post-90356376283289671032010-10-31T11:28:00.006-06:002010-10-31T12:26:38.266-06:00Late Fall riding<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR-J6bTu_58ZE6mM0WHIQxxTgOxoAqgVD-rh08RSeUuJJd_U858EblWVn3bwPmF4T6inGzY09iRS6bfz6q1Q0qZujEnBqGzyi8ckG_-rb1NnEE3T5c5aqD-mmdnORg0qFuWrY1T0pXyhw/s1600/10302010097.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR-J6bTu_58ZE6mM0WHIQxxTgOxoAqgVD-rh08RSeUuJJd_U858EblWVn3bwPmF4T6inGzY09iRS6bfz6q1Q0qZujEnBqGzyi8ckG_-rb1NnEE3T5c5aqD-mmdnORg0qFuWrY1T0pXyhw/s320/10302010097.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534274000302130882" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/renold_y/sets/72157625281447540/"><br />We had such a nice ride yesterday, I just have to let you all know.</a><div><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/renold_y/sets/72157625281447540/"><br /></a></div><div>The weather was very nice, coolish to start but it warmed up very nicely, could not have asked for more.</div><div><br /></div><div>About 35% of the ride was on dirt roads west of Wellington, CO.

So, the opportunity is great. Some bike talk, some life talk and whatever that happens to come across our mind.</div><div><br /></div><div>However, I start to worry if my shop is too bland. There is nothing interesting to see. I use mostly hand tools, hacksaw, files, vise, and some drill bits with a hand held power drill. There is really nothing impressive. No lathe, mill or special device for a special process. The only somewhat interesting device is the jig, but it is a static device, no belts or sprockets or any moving mechanism.</div><div><br /></div><div>Plus all the domestic distractions that is sharing the other half of my shop (garage) is just not helping.</div><div><br /></div><div>I need to think of something to dress up the shop and maybe do an open house one day.
