got some things' done this weekend. here's a list/update.
asylum news:
1. there are still some secrets to be held, but there will be a slight change of team kits for next year. there is going to be two jerseys with one being already dubbed the "ernie" jersey and the other will be available to consumers.
2. frames - two wacky colored frames are up for me next year. they are going to be custom painted and colors/layout is honestly in the first beginings of concept. my name, logo and the asylum sticker will be on it. the only thing we have really agreed on so far is that these frames are going to be seen from a long way out. maybe hot pink, maybe purple... hmmmm....
3. web page - up and running for the "asylum" web page in january of 2006. you'll get the full frame specs and more than likely some of my race info, bio and maybe some type of blog type thing going on. development is in the concept mode at this point.
4. sponsors - looking to meet a few of them at vegas and maybe coming up with some new ones with the help from michael over at the shop. we are going to work up some proposals as some of them need to be out the door by the end of october.
5. new logo - yep, new design. and probably a head badge too. sweet.
a few more secrets will be popping up regarding the next batch of frames to come out soon. looks like we will be getting in some cool anodized frames - my favorite is the blue.
it's all good, yo.
in other news, bikes are pimped and primed up for georgia. dan the man spent most of saturday afternoon and part of the evening getting the new king wheelset setup for me which took longer then expected due to the time warp factor associated with the shop. but, the extra time he spent actually gave me time to work on moots cross bike #1 and tune her up for the 2005 cross season.
cleaned up the bottom bracket, installed new brake/shifter cables, cleaned/lubed the chain and then intalled some el cheapo kenda training tires. these kenda cross tires are awesome. even did some races on them last year because i was too lazy to switch to my tufo's. if you are on a budget, they are the way to go. watch for them in a review i plan to do on essential cross parts coming in the next week or two.
gotta run - maybe one more post b 4 vegas!
