Moots Profiles
Every morning I sit at my desk picking at the emails that have sprouted overnight. My desk faces the open door of the sales floor, leading to the stairwell. Reliably, the third person to come upstairs every day is Caleb Franklin, lead finisher turned welder. Caleb is putting away his lunch for the day- which almost always includes cheese and crackers, and he’s followed by his ‘Short Tailed African Cougar Hound’ Luther –my favorite shop dog.

NAHBS This Weekend…..
The 2010 edition of the North American Handbuilt Show gets under way this Friday in Richmond Virginia. Gathered under one roof will be the finest craftsmen and women to assemble this year in the states. Moots will be on hand with a selection of bikes and components for the 3 day event. Not only will the Moots booth be full of titanium goodies the Shimano booth will also host the first ever Vamoots CR Di2 specific bike for test rides on a wind trainer. This bike will be traveling with Shimano for the season to come. We’ll post a calendar once we nail that down.In addition to the show itself there a loads of before and after hours activities: On Friday night Careytown Bike Company will be hosting an open house that we will attend, Saturday at 11:45 our own Butch Boucher will be giving a seminar talk on all things Moots and titanium. Later in the day we are rallying Moots owners to meet at our booth at the show shuts down. From there we will head out to one of the many local establishments for a beer…..or two. After a fun night out we will pry our tired eyes open early Sunday am to attend the Rapha Gentlemen’s ride that meets up at 7 am and rolls out at 7:30 for a nice 20 mile ride around the Richmond area. A ride at the handbuilt show on handbuilt bikes….what could be better?
Join us for a great time this weekend. Listed below are the links you’ll need for more info.
See you in Richmond!
