I just found out that an old acquantance of mine is a part owner/worker at the La Siembra coop when a box of  Cocoa Camino chocolate bars showed up at the shop.  If you like chocolate, and have not had a Cocoa Camino bar, you need to fix this problem.  Their dark chocolote is extremely good - especially the orange dark chocolate.  Support fair trade, encourage ethical business practices, get your chocolate fix, all in the same place.  What could be better?

Chico Racing has stepped up and introduced a Singlespeed catagory at the O-cups.  It’s in the start times at 9:30am.  I haven’t seen any offical word on the OCA site or anything else.  Singlespeeders - make sure you get out and represent - make sure Chico Racing doesn’t regret putting the catagory in!

A big day today! The two carbon frames we are getting ready for the bike show next weekend are ready for paint (clearcoat!). The weights of both frames are around 2.4lbs/1100g before paint.

Carbon frame ready for paint.

This frame is constructed with unidirectional tubes (longitudinal and +/-45 degree laminates), a Columbus Super Muscle rear end and a Ti insert for the BB threads…tasty!   This is one of the first rideable prototypes that will be seeing many test miles over the upcoming season.

Finally downloaded some pictures from a while back off the camera. Here is a picture of the polished stainless cable stops mounted on the frame, which is ready for paint:

Check out the full article. I’ll try to post pictures of the frame after it gets back from paint as well.
