Steve,
It's great seeing you smoked out. I haven't had the guts (or eloquent writing style) to enter this forum, yet. Besides being a great guy to work for, I have to say that meeting you, Martin, and Max was a highlight to my long, wet three and a half years in Seattle. And yes you are right, you do have a rather smooth way talking to customers. I had to think long and hard of a few questions, so here they are: What do you attribute to such a good year for bicycle sales in 2010 when most builders saw a decline in sales? Any plans on expansion or just keep doing what your doing? And one last question: Who has been your favorite mechanic/rack and wheel builder at Hamco?

I think you should definitely bring a Strada Bianca out for next year's Cino Heroica ride here in Montana. Sounds right up your alley. Although, you may have to make some "retro" mods to qualify you for the ride.

Tell the kids hi for me.
