Yesterday I get a call from the mailroom, "We have a package for you, but it feels like it's empty"Needless to say, I legged it down to the mail room at full race pace.
It took ages unwrap the frame, and even longer for it to sink in that Such Bikes is no longer just an idea, but has been translated into metal in my hands. Apart from very minor finishing issues that took me 20 mins at most to resolve, the frame looks great - very well finished. Certainly something I am proud to put my name to.
My friend Ryan, firmly part of what is Such, finished off the branding this afternoon - so at the moment the intention is to get it all together and then finish up the build later in the week, and then debut it on Sunday racing in the London League Cyclocross Team Champs.
I can't wait to feel how it rides; not just on the rough stuff, but also through the cut and thrust of the city with a backpack, chasing through the lanes and ambling fully loaded on an epic.
