A few of us, Ben, Jordan and myself, Chris, from Athens went down to the Dick Lane Velodrome in Atlanta to get certified to race a few couple of weeks ago.
We jumped through all of the hoops to get ready to race and are raring to go. It was pretty exciting to see 4 Loose Nuts track wheels actually being used on their native turf. Hopefully all three of us will be racing in the upcoming weeks. We'll keep you updated as we figure out exactly whats going on. Ben and Laura snapped some photos while we were down at the track-- they can be found here Track Certification Pics
On the wheel building front we've built over 5 new sets. We got to build a nice track only set on some new Suzue ProMax hubs that built really nicely. The hubs are super smooth and look great on Ben's Langster Comp.
Rigerberto's city ride got updated with a fresh set of white Deep-V's, Amy's Mercier is getting closer and closer to perfection with some woodgrain rims, Brooks B.17 Champion Special saddle, and super cool Brooks leather grips. A recent 20" convert (his name is omitted so he can keep his street cred) is about to be rolling on some super clean ano purple deep-v's and Treetop is considering a 650c for the Fuji-- guess he's looking to be a trickster.
Polo has been the main form of riding recently (thats not such a great thing) and a new polo steed has been built-- more will come soon but I'll leave you with a few details. Full carbon, 32's and bashguards.
More soon and pics shortly
