Recent news at the craft’s virtual water cooler revolves around True Temper’s decision to leave our circle and no longer supply steel tubing.
I can’t remember reading so much lamenting, second guessing, and if-onlys since – well, I’ve never experienced it in my time at the bench.

Richard, good write up. Where are you moving to ?

[WFSTEKL]

Richard, that was a profound essay. You are a good soul, or at least you have one.

[colker]

Well.. you can write. Clear and straight. I just read the opening of the book you have in your spirit..now give us the other 200 pgs.

[Tman]

Well said Richard

Diane Lees gives good podcast according to my opinion.

This week I spent an hour with her talking about childlike wonderment, history, True Temper, the frame building trade, arrested development, and The Special.

The Outspoken Cyclist

[colker]

the voice on the phone is hard to understand.

[GeneK]

I strongly recommend putting aside an hour to listen to Richard's Outspoken cyclist interview.
You will learn a lot.
Looking forward to the next installment, whenever that happens.

Though I wasn’t surprised by the news, it stung nonetheless. And I didn’t have an internet to lament about it on.

Bicycle craftmanship is an amazing global movement taking together masters and young artisans, realizing bespoked masterpieces starting from eight tubes.

In order to emphasize the relevance of a global cultural movement of this productive sector, ‪#‎Confartigianato‬ and @Columbus have asked to 5 bicycle crafters, both masters and young artisans, from the 5 continents to realize a framework that embodied they vision of a craft bicycle.

The artisans that answered positively this call have been:
- Richard Sachs (USA)
- Karen Hartley (UK)
- Cherubim (Japan)
- Baum Cycles (Australia)
- Mercer Bikes (South Africa)

Today, these artisanal masterpieces have arrived in Italy and will be exposed and admired at ‪#‎NewCraft‬, the exhibition part of the program of XXI Triennale Internazionale del Design devoted to display the wonderful results stemming from the encounter between artisans’ know how and new technologies, as well as the global dimension of this new economy.

In order to celebrate this works as they deserve, we have asked two Italian maestros, Dario Pegoretti and Doriano De Rosa to enrich their presentation by joining us and telling about their experience of bicycle artisans in a global market.

The 29 June at 6 p.m. at New Craft exhibition at Fabbrica del Vapore, via Procaccini 4, Milano we will showcase these wonderful creation and talk about bicycles and artisans, in an event dedicated to celebrate them.
