Congrats to Chris Hoy on 2008 BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

Well deserved for the king of track. Superb personality and definitely a role model for the people. It was a tough battle between Lewis Hamilton & Chris Hoy.



Lewis is the youngest F1 champion and Chris Hoy most successful Scott olympian and became the first Briton to win three golds at one Games since 1908.

Well done to Hoy. We look forward to 2012!

DISMOUNT

It's been awhile since I've posted [or anyone in this case] and I
guess the guys are busy planning for 2009. Or whatever.
And I've been sorting my stuffs too and so far, all goes well.
Not much on my work but things in general are getting better.
So the boxes are ticked and some corrected for reconsideration...

and one of those is this blog...

And of the things that I will need to let go...
Yea who would have thought this day will come.
I didn't but it came anyways. So yea there goes the hard work but
not all are bad as the boys will still be running it.

I'll still be contacting some of you for bike stuffs.
Yes I am [still] in the midst of rebuilding my red one and know what?
It's actually nicer to rebuild a bike with time on your side and
no one to bother you. You get all the time to look for super authentic parts
and have your own sweet time to consider the options while having a latté
on a Sunday morning. Damn I do feel good about this bike.

I'll be still be knocking on doors... Alan - CyclingWMD, Alex - Straightchain
and not forgetting this dude David aka ID. A biker who'd do anything to help
another biker just to get the details of a bike we both have. Thanks D.

Anyways, yup this is it. Ride safe dudes.

CONCEPT B

Now this is worth hoping for and squeaky clean design.

LIKE IT THIS WAY

Sotto Voce Headset Markings [above, on a 1.5"]
It all started with the graphics used on the 1.5 headsets...
soft understated, almost invisible markings.
After all, even though we are proud to display our
careful and discerning choices, they are mostly about the quality of the component.
Starting in November of 2008, the old familiar white graphics seen for years on
Chris King® headsets will transition into the more subtle Sotto Voce.
Previous white markings will still be available on Black headsets,
and as a special order on all other colors. As before, 1.5 maintains in Sotto Voce.
Update from Chris King®

On a 2Nut. Nice huh?
